Those look really good, as does the chrome bars. I understand that the later seats are more comfortable than the new edge seats, but I always thought those brackets you can buy to make the swap look a little bulky. The way you did it is much better.
On a related note, I just recovered my...
Originally, when I started building my 04 Mustang, the plan was to swap in a 351 Windsor, but then I found a wrecked GT and swapped in the 4.6 instead.
My initial measurements looked like the 351 pan and all would fit pretty well, but I never got as far as actually sliding one into the engine...
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen anyone selling door panels for these cars. Luckily, mine were in really good shape, but I had to inject a little glue under the armrest part as the vinyl had pulled up slightly (all of them seem to do this).
On a related subject, I just got my new front...
I think you are the guy I ordered mine from (it has been a year or so, and I forget) but I am very happy with mine. Cleaned up the engine room a lot and got rid of that huge ABS setup. I removed the bulb from my dash, it was a 10 minute job. I've noticed no difference in the brakes vs having...
Oh, in case anyone is ever trying to decide, the 4.10 gears I put in are perfect around town. I was worried they might be too deep because I ran 4.30's in my roadster for a while, and then went to 3.90's. But I find the 4'10s to be just right. In town, I never get into 5th gear, usually...
Haha, probably never. This one is just a sometimes daily driver. I think my 1/4 mile days are over. However, an occasional red light run through the gears are still a possibility. But I don't want to blow this one up, pulling engines isn't as much fun as it once was.
It's taken me two years, but my 04 is finally on the road. My two sons and I have been saying we couldn't wait to take all 3 of our cars and go to dinner, and we finally got to do that last night.
My one sons Mach I is in the front, my other sons GT is next, and mine is in the rear. Sure was...
I have a lot of aftermarket parts under my 04, but when it came to the steering rack, I simply went with a brand new stock R and P, but I added limiters and urethane bushings. Car steers like a slot car, and the bushings really firmed up the steering a lot.
I assume you are going to street drive this car ? If so, I also wanted to put a set of Hoosier drag radials on the back of my Mustang, but my sons told me I would be making a mistake. So, I called Hoosier, and the tech guy said they were right, not a good idea. I mainly wanted them to...
First of all, I'm jealous, that is a good score on the powertrain. I basically did the same thing you did, I found a mint v6 body and a wrecked GT and put the GT stuff in the V6 car. The shells of the two cars are exactly the same, so it doesn't care what guts you install into that shell. I...
My one son is running a Boss 3 inch (I think) hood on his 04, and it looks good, but he has problems when driving the car on the street. The height blocks some of his view of the road, and when he is turning, like in a parking lot, he has trouble judging where the car is, and he has run over a...
Nothing wrong with doing something like that to just make it look better and feel better, I have done the same thing a few times. I know nothing about this Ebay ad, but they seem to have a good rating, and the covers look better than what someone like Autozone might have. There are a lot of...
The drivers seat is always the problem. For that kind of money, all you are going to get is something off of Ebay or the local auto parts store. It will at least buy you some time until you can find a nicer seat or reskin the ones you have.
Right now, I am waiting for the new upholstery for...
Yeah, your order looks fine. How about brake hoses, how do yours look ? Sometimes they start going bad internally and cut down the pressure to the calipers.
When I was putting my 04 together, I hit the local pick and pull wrecking yard and scored a lot of the little odds and ends like you need. Even though I had the car I was building, and a second one I bought for parts, I was still somehow short on some little pieces. Luckily, they had about 8...
I was only suggesting that he use their site to find the part numbers. I use RA a lot, and was pissed at them about a year or so ago over a credit they messed up, but we resolved that, and every transaction has been fine since. What I do is get their price, then compare it to a local store...
This is my sons Mach I, also lowered with the same tire size I am running. You can kinda see the rake here. Mine is starting to settle a little lower, now that I have driven it around the block a few times.
Thank you. My one son has an almost identical white GT, and my other son has a white Mach I, and I liked theirs so much that I had to do mine the same.
I am just finishing this one up, and it sits about an inch lower in the front than the rear, but in the pictures it looks level. 2.75 front and 3.15 rear.
