Nice job so far! If you need a buyer for the gauge cluster bezel, I can be it. Let me know.

Wow thats exactly where i want my 98 to end up. Wish i was home to get parts cheap. Miss that, i was spoiled for years.

Got any larger rear pics like the one in your sig? 11 inch wide is a perfect fit on SN95's when you have the right offset.

Thank you and I have someone interested in the bezel.

No pics yet. If it is sunny this weekend I plan on a photo shoot. My sig pic is three years old:D

I haven't noticed a lot of difference between the 4:10's v.s. the 4:56's. Don't fear the gear:burnout:

Picked up a set of FR500's to replace my long in the tooth 95R's.

Last pic of the R's

Side by side comparison of the front BF Goodrich 275/40/17s v.s. BF Goodrich G-Force TA 275/35/18

Still have the 1/2" spacers on and I need to pull them off and install the low profile Maximum Motorsprots IRS bolts.

Wasn't happy with the look^ so I pulled the spacers. The wheels fit a lot better and it doesn't look like I need the MM IRS bolts but now my drivers rear tire is rubbing on the quarter panel. I'll give it some light massaging tomorrow.

Car is looking great Gallows and good move on removing the spacers. I'm digging the wing a lot, might have to find one and sell my S-281.

Wheel selection is good too, glad you went with the 18s and not 17s in the FR's.

What are you going to do with the 95 cobras? I might have a use for them


There is one on ebay SCCA T-1 Mustang Race Spoiler - Fiberglass T1 Wing NEW! | eBay

I looked at getting 17's but tire selection wasn't as good as the 18's.

I have the 95R's f/s. Shipping would probably be pricy.

I didn't measure them but I think they are slightly narrower but that suits me better. I like the G-Force tires on the front. When the 315's are finished I think I will order a set of 295's to match them.
