Thank you for that, I have not got that far, but options for body, splitter and wing are things I want to look
add for couple reasons, some looks and hopefully some functional as well.

I follow the guy on instagram, he races his new edge. Both function and looks for his part 90% of the time

rainy day, you tube and mustang videos.
how to do this, how to do that.
searching parts and options, not bad afternoon
if you ask me.

 

[Canuck121]

Always fun trying to figure out what to do. So many options

 

[67 AGAIN]

So many options, only so much money...
Alas, the world is not always perfect. ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

I have a pretty good handle on direction now.
Still some decisions to make and I am sure still
have a few small direction changes based on more research.

But after many conversations and a lot of research
I know which way I am going.

 

[67 AGAIN]

That’s awesome!
Who said watching Youtube videos is a waste of time?

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Yeah the direction to go will save you alot of Dough!!

Spent the morning at the shop, Helimech showed up
and then later thundr, so a bit of work done,
I bit of bench racing

So serious conversations about rear end up grades
which now leads to more research but but may save some $$$$
we will see which way I end up going

 

[Ohtobbad]

Paint, Early days, outside not worried about for now.
But interior, engine bay and Chassis
what are your thoughts on colours?

Interior is and will be grey - black
I have not choose exterior colour yet
but will be medium to dark spectrum.

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Dark Gray would be nice and can match the engine bay.

 

[S197CS]

Dark Gray would be nice and can match the engine bay.

Building on that, Magnetic grey or the new Lead Foot colors would be an awesome color choice in my opinion!

 

[67 AGAIN]

Lead foot all the way.
Even the name is cool.
No metal flakes but not flat.
Cool.

Spent the morning at the shop, Gerry showed up,
so didn't get much actually done, but some serious
bench racing took place, which helps in R&D

I wasn’t going to post this one today but maybe an answer for your question Trevor, on going 8.8 or 9 inch rear end.
Or validation if you do go 8.8.

If you haven't settled on a brake kit, I found these vintage big brakes for you!
