My GTbird build Reply #60 – July 14, 2016, 04:15:38 AM There is a smaller brake Booster that will clear. I believe it's the Fox stang one, should bolt right up if I remember right. Quote Selected
My GTbird build Reply #61 – July 23, 2016, 03:56:57 PM Well I pulled the booster off and got the firewall adjuster installed and it should work now just with limited range but I can make that up at the fork end.I finished the brake lines and adjustable valve so now I can drop the motor in. I also started on the new front suspension and got the CC plates on.I also got all my dash parts and gauges figured out for a layout I like. Im going to machine the .125 textured plastic sheet to overlay the stock bezels in between the vents then use some nice button head capscrews to mount the new bezel to the originals so it will kind of have a 85 Mustang GT look to it.

My GTbird build Reply #63 – July 25, 2016, 08:07:54 PM Finally got the front end all together as of today. 87 brakes, MM braided hoses,95 Cobra coils with 1/4 coil cut off,rebuilt A-arms,KYB struts, MM cc plates and all Energy Suspension bushings for the stock swap bar.I also got this coil spring installation tool from Maximum Motorsports that made putting the coils in so much easier.Wont be able to work on it again until weds but I should be dropping the motor in then.

Assuming there isn't more than one Kenneth Schrader. :hick:Does this look like your car? Quote Selected

My GTbird build Reply #66 – July 26, 2016, 08:05:50 AM From the ebay ad back in 2007. I guess that might be the time frame it sold and went to Fl? Quote Selected
My GTbird build Reply #67 – July 30, 2016, 10:48:32 AM Worked on my cluster lastnite. Think its going to look real good.Using Speedhut tach with shift lights and their GPS speedo that has a bunch of cool features. Autometer and AEM will round out the rest of the gauges. These were all left over gauges from some of my other builds so instead of spending good money on new ones Im going to do my part for the environment and recycle these. Quote Selected
