The land of commies and socialists!
My guess is that is what killed the bill mitchel reproduction guy. This was well before covid and he was estimating build cost to be 4-5k. My guess is the few companies that make shocks for the SLA fronts still want the $2500 for the pair.
It’s still a goal for my car and I know some guys years ago were building them off MM K’s but a kit to make it easier would help upgrade the front suspension on the fox chassis to something more handling capable.

Another one is the door panels for the SN/new edge cars as they will eventually come unglued.
Very possible. Using Penske and JRI shocks definitely drives up the cost but that's usually what people are after when going SLA. They want the best.

Maybe someone will figure out a cheaper option some day.

My builder just posted photos on bookface of his first real Carbon Fiber roof panel for 94-04 cars... He made the mold himself and made it from scratch, weighs 5lbs and looks SEXY!

I can’t wait to get his instrument cluster carbon fiber dual gauge pod. Also, talked to him about grafting the “MUSTANG” from a GT bumper into the 03-04 cobra bumper. He is my choice for paint and body when I finally get to that point.


Outtie belly-buttons will now be referred to as “belly weenies”.

I thought there was a company a few years back making repo kits?
One that hasn’t been named, I think at least, the Mach 1 Shaker system.


Sent from somewhere in the twilight zone…


Someone local to me is selling the old CDC kit, with the hood cowl and all

Edit: just looked and dont see the listing anymore

I saw this gauge pod listed for sale on FB. Don't know who makes them, but I haven't been able to locate it anywhere. It's nice cause it has a spot for a shift light and the gauges are right next to each other toward the front making it easier to see.

His paint and body work is outstanding, but the line is fairly long to get in and he does take his time with it... but his prices are honestly way too cheap for the quality of his work.

That is actually really cool. And given modern tech with 3D printers shouldn't be too hard to replicate.


Also all this talk with the SLA kits has got me thinking about not just the better suspension geometry, but the fact if you lop out those big strut towers it would open up all kinds of turbo options in an otherwise very cramped engine bay.
