1. Disc Brakes

2. Suspension Upgrade

3. More HP Adders

4. Customize however you want...cnat really tell you what YOU want....if it was me, id get it painted another color and get some differnt rims so that the new disc brakes can be seen....and just bigger wheels in general...theoretically can help with the handling.....

The first thing you can do is to get rid of those crappy looking wheels. For the rest of the car, just replace worn parts with original OEM parts, and keep it an original Icon of American Muscle cars of the 60's.

Make sure everything on it works. Get rid of the air shocks, you dont want a stink bug look. Figure out where you want to go with it, daily driver, fun toy for cruisin, something that hauls, or maybe a car that turns corners.

Dont add a big wing, dont add spinners, dont put vinyl stickers all over it, dont put on 13" spokes with tiny tires stickin out the fenders 9", dont throw a body kit on it, and dont think that putting a Supra or Skyline engine in it will make it fast. The worst thing you could do would be puttin a chevy in it.

I cant even decide what to do with all of mine, I just know what not to do and how not to get bored with it and sell it.


Ah... Glen doesnt like the Outlaw II wheels... hhhmm maybe another photoshop is in order.. I happen to have some on the GTO..lol...

You are right, I don't like the Outlaw II wheels. And, it doesn't matter what classsic car they are put on. Why do you guys constantly want to put ugly wheels on great classic cars?

why do you continue to bash people for modding/changing their mustang and making their car what they want?
