i love the way they look black. and i had to order my tires from summit cause jegs was out

[Yellowstang]

did you ever get the front brakes your where looking for?

[JIMS SVT]

What rear brakes are ya gonna do?

[draggin50]

I still need brakes front and rear. I think Im going to go with Wilwood all the way around. I have to figure out what housing ends are on the rear end yet so I can order them.

[Yellowstang]

i have a set of Moser ends brand new i cant use them i think there for a 9in

[Yellowstang]

i think the part # is 7500 or 7550. there for a 8.8 but they will not work

[Yellowstang]

part number 7700

[draggin50]

Ill check and see if its something I can use. Im still having an 8.8 built yet also.

[excopcar]

it's on now brian.

[Stangman]

Man that thing looks tough..... so why the 9 inch if your having an 8.8 built? Why not stick with the 9?

[Buckeye]

Man that thing looks tough..... so why the 9 inch if your having an 8.8 built? Why not stick with the 9?

ya what he said :screwy:

[draggin50]

Because its a ladder bar setup and Id rather stay stock suspension. I already had this paid for or I would've just done the 8.8 in the beginning.

[Buckeye]

but you now have a nice braced 9 that will do well and with a 9 you can swap gears easly swap between road gears and race plus a spool or not .

[draggin50]

Yeah thats true. I just hate to put a shitload of more money in the 9 inch when I could build the 8.8 and get away from the ladder bar setup. If I decide to run true street I wont be aloud with them.

[Stangman]

Screw running in a class, build it for yourself man! Lol a 9" will be tough!

J/k either way will still kick ass... don't someone make mustang suspension brackets for 9" axles?

[draggin50]

Screw running in a class, build it for yourself man! Lol a 9" will be tough!

J/k either way will still kick ass... don't someone make mustang suspension brackets for 9" axles?

Yeah there are a few companies that make the brackets and bolt in housings. That may be something I could look into.

[Yellowstang]

that thing looks badass cant wait to see it run

[draggin50]

Well it looks like my buddy is gonna be throwin some paint on it also. Just going to paint the top black. Now thats a friend!!

[Yellowstang]

paint the hood too

[draggin50]

Just from the body line just below the glass and up will be black.

[buckeye6669]

would like to come to sabina and c that beast

[draggin50]

Yeah its just sittin right now. It will be out soon roaming the streets! You'll have to stop by sometime.

[buckeye6669]

[draggin50]

Sounds good.

[draggin50]

Car looks sick man,have fun with it!

Thanks! Im workin on it! Should be fun when its all done.

[outlaw85]

Brian,
Any updates?

[draggin50]

Brian,
Any updates?

Waiting to get the rearend back and then its back to work!!! Im ordering the torque box shit now to stiffen them up. I should have the rear end next week or so. Just sucks Ill have to buy 2 new back wheels...

The rear end is going to be welded, narrowed about 3 inches per side, swarr bar welded on, 35 spline Moser axles, gun drilled and star flange, Moser spool, and Strange 1350 pinion yoke with a 3.55 gear. That should hold whatever I throw at it!!

[outlaw85]

Very Nice! Sounds like your doing it up right.

[draggin50]

I should have it in the next week or so. Then its back to finding out if my old ProStars will work with the new rearend. If not Ill be buying another set of wheels.

[setty2706]

Great project.. Looking forward to seeing it around.

[draggin50]

Well the rear end is in work and and should be done soon! I havent made much progress lately due to working all the time but Im hoping to have it out by the end of summer. Paint is also laying there so it will be getting some of that thrown on as well!!!

[tonyr]

holy crap this car is bad ass man i love it ......

[WARMACHINE]

Can't wait to see it run.

[draggin50]

Hopefully soon Ill have it out to KilKare to make some passes. I still need alot of parts and a cage put in. Not sure what direction I want to go on that yet. I may hunt for a roller thats already set up and certified. Never know...

[Stangman]

I may hunt for a roller thats already set up and certified. Never know...

Jeeze lol....

[draggin50]

Well Im always looking!!! Id like to have a 99 up car to swap everything into... Never know!

[WARMACHINE]

Yea you can save a ton that way. I've done it before.

[draggin50]

Well I let it down and tucked the wheels up under it today. Looks good! Wish I could get away without buying new wheels for the back but I doubt it.

[AZZKIKR]

Looking great man,keep up the good work! Sweet looking fox

[atbracn]

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TooFast98Cobra]

nice!!!!!!

[draggin50]

Thanks everyone!! Cant wait till its done. Im almost sick of seeing it set there!

[408COUPE]

what all do u have left before it is on the road

[draggin50]

The rear end is the biggest thing. Once its back I need rear brakes, cage and start on the interior. Also manual rack and shaft, and manual brake parts. Not a whole lot really but Im sure Ill need alot of small stuff that adds up real quick too! Hopefully I can start raking in some overtime and get it finished up soon. I really miss having one to drive.

[draggin50]

Got my rear end back this weekend. It's narrowed about 2.5 inches, Moser 35 spine gun drilled axles and spool, Strange 9 inch ends, 3.55 gear, 1350 pinion yoke, Swarr bar, Trick Flow girdle, and 5/8's studs. Also have UPR spherical bearings, and torque box plates on the way. Hopefully ill get some good pics up soon.

[Markcore]

Sounds like you might get it done just in time for the cool air!

[mad max]

Cool air and that coupe would be a scary situation.

[Markcore]

Cool air and that coupe would be a scary situation.

Hot and humid air and this coupe would be a scary situation! :D

[draggin50]

Either way I'm sure I'll need a change of clothes!!! I was shooting for the SCS coming up but that's a long shot!

[mad max]

Its gonna fly , cant wait to see it run.

[Maximus]

Serious? Dont Fuck up this thread.

[05yellowgt]

Cleaned up thread per the OP's wishes.

[Maximus]

Either way I'm sure I'll need a change of clothes!!! I was shooting for the SCS coming up but that's a long shot!

You got less than 2 weeks!!!:bigthumb

[draggin50]

Well I got it on all 4 wheels and rolled out of my buddy's garage!!! This is with a set of 15x8 Prostars with 5.5 bs and 27x9.5 Hoosier's. Looks like I need a bigger wheel and tire!

[chris91]

Nahh just get a set of spacers and you'll be fine. LOL jk

[setty2706]

nice to see it on all fours and out of the garage.....

[2Fast4You]

Looking good, keep going on it.

[draggin50]

Yeah it was nice to see it out and getting some sun (well what we had of it)!!! Its now back at my place and back up on jack stands again... I still need alot of parts but Im making some head way. Also picked up some bad ass Kirkey seats with black covers for it. We'll see how it comes along now. Ill post up pics as I go.

[Applejaxx95vert]

it is nice to get them out and let them see the sun. Mine still has some bugs to work out so push it out and let it get some sun.

[AZZKIKR]

Keep up the good work man!

[dsmawd350]

what happened to the set of wheels that was on it a page back?

[draggin50]

When I had the 9 inch they fit. So when that deal fell through I sold them to 03z06vette since he has the 9 inch now. I dont think they was going to fit. They was a 15x10 with 3.5 inch bs.

[DNTRYIT]

Car looks good Brian made a lot of progress with it and it has came a long way but cant wait to see it in person for sure and hear it run!

[draggin50]

Thanks Mike! Its still gonna be a while. Looks like spring time before Ill have it out. Ill stock pile parts until then! I know I got very little time and even less money...

[draggin50]

Another picture of it sitting beside some real steel!!! Its started coming back apart for other stuff to go on but I kinda let it take the back burner to get the 32 up and running since I have all the parts to finish it except for a 5.0 and a C4 tranny.

[draggin50]

Your welcome out anytime!!! I'm usually out there all weekend. I'll give ya a call this weekend.

[mad max]

I have my girls but we need to go for a ride in the cobra . They would be excited to see another mustang .

[Stangman]

[draggin50]

Its back up and running after the mini tub work. I still have it just kinda thrown together just to run it. Hoping to get the cage done over the winter and finish the rest of it up. I still need alot of parts yet so Ill be pushing it! I have the trunk floor piece cut and ready to be put in, picked up some Kirkey seats, and started on gutting the interior.

[2Fast4You]

I like that car, we should line them up for the first time out on the track. You have to give me a 2-second head start though. :lol:LOL

[draggin50]

Sounds like a deal!!! I'll probably need the head start! I just hope I can have it done this spring!

[Maximus]

Sounds like a Beast!!:bigthumb

[draggin50]

Hope it runs as good as it sounds!

[2Fast4You]

Sounds great, how does everybody get their photos that large? Help me.

[draggin50]

Download them to photobucket and then just copy and paste the ing code in you reply.

[cyah92]

Sounds good

[Yellowstang]

[draggin50]

Thanks! Now if I can just get it finished up and make some passes this spring!

[bronzeLX]

Love that car, gonna be a fun ride, hope to see it at the Spring Shootout.

[Yellowstang]

it will look good with 8.5s on it

[draggin50]

It should be out at the shootout. I hope anyways! Maybe make it with a car instead of a camera!!!

[cyah92]

Cool projects man!!! :bigthumb

[cyah92]

I would put it in the gould mustang after getting the chassi ready for that big engine

[draggin50]

Cool projects man!!! :bigthumb

Thanks! The old stuff was my buddy's and right before he died he asked if I would finish them up. That one is a 32 Ford Panel Delivery and I also have a 40 Ford Panel delivery, a 31 Deluxe Sedan Delivery, 30/31 2 door sedan and mine which is a 30/31 Model A pick up. They are pretty easy to do and parts are still available. Mine is rusty but thats the way I wanted it.

[heyitsmepugsley]

that thing sounds wicked

[cyah92]

U got alot on your plate

[draggin50]

Yes I do! I'll get some pics of the others that I'm working on.

[Jake]

I saw you were swapping the drive train from this to the hatch. what are your plans for the coupe now?

[draggin50]

Its hard to tell what I do with it. Im thinking of setting it aside and doing it after the GT is done. I change my mind like underwear so I never know what Im doing. I cant build them both at the same time... I wish I could! It may be sold off to fund this one. That will be my last resort though.
