slow90coupe Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Lol I've absolutely lost all interest in the TF wheels now, I've never been really in love with them, but these HRE's have got me more excited about building a car than I have ever been before.

Tabres Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Looks awesome, dude. Fitment at the back doesn't even really look that bad, but I'd want to change the rear-end out too for the narrowed one from your fox. Any idea what the name of these wheels are? The SVE Series 1 wheels that 50resto sells remind me of these, just not anywhere near as nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the only set out there like this, which is why I love them so much. @Psychorugby yes sir, I'm waiting on the pics to upload so I can post my for sale ad for the TF wheels.

slow90coupe Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well, it looks like I'm going to be putting a lot of money into some carbon fiber interior and exterior accessories. I've never actually looked for carbon fiber pieces before, and I had no idea how much is made for a 94-98 Mustang.Looks like I'm going to chance my luck once again with Special Carbon Fiber. I plan to order a CF S281, armrest lid, clock bezel, and a few other pieces from them, and a few cf pieces from Carbon Driven. Stay tuned, I've always wanted to do this, but with the Brides and HRE's it will finally fit with the attitude of the car. I'm so pumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow90coupe Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm finally back home and got a few minutes to work on the car. I've got just a hair over 3 weeks left to get the car ready for Mustang Week. It's going to be a busy 3 weeks.Anyways, here's what I got done.Pulled the tail lights out and cleaned behind themTook the bezels off and used some Chemical Guys metal polish on the lensesThen I got the car into the nice shopAnd about 30 minutes later the rear was out. It really pays to have a car that's not eaten up with rust. Everything fell right apart without any issues, other than really tight driveshaft bolts that had never been removed before.Still waiting for all of my parts to show up. I still have a bunch to order too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcraft fuel filter since I know for a fact the filter hasn't been changed in at least 6 years Ebay HID's Tint for tail lights, side markers, etc LED bulbs for random things PTP turbo blanket Then my buddy came by and we threw the rear end under the car.

slow90coupe Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Progress is finally being made. I only have about 1/3 of my parts right now, but I'm installing what I have and my new goal is to have the car completed by next weekend, giving me a week to test/tune with the car to make sure it's ready to make the 4 hour trip. I thought about trailering the car, but then again trailering a car that runs, drives, and has ps, pb, cruise, radio, and AC is just stupid IMO, and I like to laugh at the people that trailer their cars everywhere. So if the car is going, it's going to be driving. If it breaks, it breaks. At least I am using the car. Enough of the slight rant, here's the progress pics. I started out by doing something a little different with my tail lights. I always liked the export lights, but I'm cheap (hence all of the ebay parts), so I'm not going to pay $500+ for tails when my current ones are mint. I used some yellow Lamin-x for this little project. The pieces I cut out And the pieces laid over the reverse light. Completed tail light assembly, after polishing and waxing the lens bezels. And installed on the car, along with my new LED license plate bulbs. I also put in my LED dome light bulb. Then I wired up my HID's The only thing so far that I don't like about them. The connections to the factory pigtail just slip on. I'll figure something out for those tomorrow. I mounted the ballasts on top of my intercooler. That's all for now, much more to come in the next few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 When you have easy access to a trailer it kind of makes it a no brainer. I like the yellow overlays on the reverse lights!

I hope you have a projector headlight going in there!My dad has a truck and trailer, but I've never used it for my cars and I never plan to unless I break something lol. Thanks man! I thought about projectors, but I decided to just do smoked headlights. Today's progress I let the car back down for another mockup. I tinted the side reflectors, but forgot to take pics of them individually. And the "clearance" between the girdle and the trunk pan. Yeah, I am going to need to do something here. It'll be raised up a little, but I think it will still make contact over bumps. Oh well, it'll clearance itself eventually. A few parts I painted I finally got rid of the gay overlay that's been on my 3rd brake light. It must've been on there for at least 10 years, because it was baked into the lens. After tint Then I got the fogs wired up Then I put Lamin-X over them as well. And put LED's in my 3rd brake light and even put a trunk light back in.

95riosnake Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 God damn that stance is ON POINT! I like the export-esque overlays too, and all the other nice detail work you're doing with lighting/tinting, etc. And LOL at "it'll clearance itself eventually"...that's been my mode of operation on a few things like my mufflers, inner fender liners, etc. I thought about getting new Stingers but figured hey, this pair has flat bottoms which gives me about 1/2" to 5/8" more ground clearance, lol.

Blackmage Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 nice progress man! def gettin shit done! Im not sure how i feel about the yellow tint, but thats just personal preference. What headlights are you going with? Im using 55w 6500k HID's, and they blow with my tinted headlights. Mine are the "dark tint" headlights from AM, although they stopped selling em, don't get em too smoked otherwise you'll run into the same problem as me. not being able to see shit at night.

I'm hoping I'll be able to see halfway decent at night, because before I could barely drive the car at night it was so bad. I don't drive the car at night but maybe 10 times a year, but I just wanted good lights for when I'm cruising the strip at MW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabres Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 That stance is awesome. The Lumin-X is really clever idea, too. A great alternative to spending several hundred dollars for real exports. They're something I want too but like you can't bring myself to swallow that kind of expense for tail-lights. I thought about getting new Stingers but figured hey, this pair has flat bottoms which gives me about 1/2" to 5/8" more ground clearance, lol. I always wondered how you flattened the bottom of yours... and its by scrapping? Here I was thinking it was intentional, lol. My Stingers drag and scrape on driveways and speed bumps occasionally, would love if they flattened out like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they are no stranger to the ground and the edge of my garage floor as I drive into the garage. Won't be a problem once the air ride is on, but I got pretty used to the feeling of them dragging the ground lol. I actually made aluminum skid plates I clamped onto them right before I ditched the SRA, that way when they drug, it wasn't wearing through the bottom of the case, haha.
