I know I know it's an ole pushrod 5.0 and this is the mod motor section. But the 5.0 section is dead as a door nail for the most part and this has been my posting home for a good while any ways!

So the car is my 95 GT I just bought with 185k on the clock. It was in pretty bad shape appearance wise and had a couple small mechanical issues. I will eventually make a thread of all I have done even tho it is nothing special really. Anyway, I still need to do interior pictures and stuff but this is just a teaser. Hopefully I took pics of the interior with everything painted red from the PO befor eI replaced with all black original style parts. I have done lots of odd and ends like installing new oem mach 460 speakers to replace blown ones and an explorer intake to replace the cracked one and lots of other small things. The car will be a DD for the next coupel years most likely. Then maybe a all new motor build and new tranny! When I got her the clear coat was litterally blowing off in the wind and the car looked pink. I am still not a huge fan of the 10th anniv cobra wheel but they are growing on me. I'll have to post night time pics of my HIDs too. Look awesome. all these were taken with Iphone 4 and a Galaxy s3. I will have lots of before and after pics from my Nikon SLR before too long Not too bad for a 2k dollar car with some work.

And yes, the painters painted inside the side scoops red I gues sI will have to plan on masking it off and trying to use a brush to paint them back black once the paint cures UGH! Do they look terrible red? And sorry for the huge pics, I forget how to post smaller ones. Maybe use the thumbnail links photobucket gives?

Looks like it is coming along. Not a fan of the wheels or corner headlight housings, but that paint job sure cleaned it right up.

Looks really clean. Obviously needs side markers and you should put the new 5.0 badges on it. I really like the look of the 10th anniversary wheels with it.

Still waiting on OEM badges to get here. I orderd the new 5.0 emblems in matte blakc but can't put them on bc the guy never told his workers I said to not put the old emblems back on. They used liquid 3m adhesive and when I pulled them off it had etched the paint. It's also pulling some new paint since it's fresh. Ugh. So new stock emblems going on since they will cover the damage perfectly. Would have them repaint the fender but I worry about it matching and stuff so screw it lol.

I have some depo smoked side markers coming as well

Yeah, I loved my 10th Anni's but they were a pain to clean. I sold them because I had 9" up front I couldn't stand the way the car followed the road and made the steering feel sloppy.

Yeah these have 275's on the front and seems to feel sloppy in steering response. But the tires also seem to have a soft sidewall and that does not help.
