Just thought id stop back by and see whats going on.I am finally going to be able to build up my 66 to be a real pavement pounder because i bought another car so the mustang can be a real hotrod now.Any ideas on the first major project? So anything new around here?

It depends on how you want it and your budget.Been my car coil overs front or everything open tracker brakes the mustangsteve cobra kit is cheaper then baer and its the samething.Also subframe connectors export brace and monte carlo bar.The rear good shocks and a watts link maybe even a 3 link.Your wallet is the only limit to what you can do with the car so set a goal and budget and go for.If you need help finding parts or want something different looking let me know.

Bracing sounds like a good idea to start off with as it is easy to do and pretty cheap. I got my monte for 15, export for 35, and subframes came with the car but they are usually about 90 I think.

The export brace and monte carlo bar are the cheapest things to make it handle better subframe connectors are 3rd i like the tcp ones with the x in the middle stiffens it right up.Or http://www.hdrcoupe.com/catalog/inde...oducts_id=1426 how good do you want it to handle?If you want a different looking export brace http://www.globalwest.net/1964-66%20...bar%20unit.htm i have no clue on price tho.

Seriously what are you going on about...I already have loud exhaust so i really dont know what you point is..but to andrew..it already handles pretty freakin good but as always a lil stiffer would be nice, i just want it to corner as flat as possible.I doubt it will handle like my lexus but close would be nice.

electronic dumps. If I the opportunity to do anything fun with my mustang, the first thing I'd do is exhaust, and dumps. I'm hobbled because I have a convertible, and I have had to accept the fact that it is a cruiser. I dream of a 500 Galaxy.
