Schiffy Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 That looks good, what did you paint the tank cover with? I thought about using an underbody coating or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I clean it up real good, scuffed it up and sprayed it with the gloss black Krylon I had sitting on the shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I want to do that same thing to my fuel tank cover and straps. Black tank with white straps. Or stainless steel straps. You continue to do really good work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 10, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I want to do that same thing to my fuel tank cover and straps. Black tank with white straps. Or stainless steel straps. You continue to do really good work!!I want to do red straps, but need to find a replacement clip that the bolt screws into since my snapped. That made it a real bitch to mount the tank again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Im in a dilemma with the control arms. The hardware they come with is 1/2" which is what they used up to 98. from 99+ they went to a little larger hardware. Dont know if I want to drill out the bushings for the larger hardware or tighten the piss you of the hardware when i put it on. Team Z only lists one control arm for all fox chassis.

F8L GT Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Its a metric size. I have 9/16 in the back now. I might just bring the bushings to work and drill them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Daddy Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I gotta ask what was so bad about the tank coming down? 2 bolts and 3 screws from teh fuel filler neck ... I thought it was pretty easy compared to others ive done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 nothing is bad about. just stating my progress on the clean up and repainting of the underbody, all though the tank does have a little less than half tank of gas in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I was planning to get that CHE brace when I had an SRA then the plans changed to an IRS. I really like how the brace has a built-in jacking point under the pumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looks awesome, great job on everything!My opinion on mudflaps aesthetically is hell no. If you're adding them to protect your paint from rubber that is a good enough reason, but I still hate the look of mud flaps lol.It would definitely be a form vs. function situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I really wanted to find molded bullitt flaps but I found these while taking my seat tracks off my fox seats. As you can see, my tires are super wide and they throw a lot on the bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 If you need them to protect the paint then that makes sense, I just have never liked mud flaps on mustangs.Maybe they could be painted to match the car? Unless they're rubber, can't tell from the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Theres 2 bumper screws that I will probably use, that way if I dont like them I can just take them off and it will be like they were never there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Why not get the clear vinyl and put it over that rear area to protect it, then after so long peel it off and replace it.Sent from my secretary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
