He wants to trade those for my Conquest wheelsQuote from: 50tbrd88;375182Oh ok, I thought those were the wheels you were going with on the finished product. They will work fine for rollers, lol. Na, I'll be running 18X10s all the way around Quote Selected

T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #36 – December 11, 2011, 11:36:59 AM doesnt look too bad. what are your plans for paint? because i ask this is it would depend on the body color if the black wheeles would blend in too much or would off set the body color. Quote Selected
T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #37 – December 11, 2011, 03:31:17 PM I'm going to go with a darker Ford metalic blue. If I keep them, I'll probably use them for track use. The wheels I'll be getting for it later, will be Black Chrome FR500 replicas. Quote Selected

T-Bird Resto/Mod UPDATE 3-16-18 Reply #41 – December 15, 2011, 11:38:47 PM How much fab work was involved with installing the IRS? Quote Selected
Last Pics for awhile Reply #42 – December 16, 2011, 09:30:35 PM The majority of the work was, lengthening the front cradle mounting points 3/4", removing part of the P/S fuel tank bracket, drilling holes to hold the rear brackets. On a mustang, the quad shock mounts are where the brackets attach, but on our birds the quad mounts are further back. It was a relatively painless install.Now for a few latest pics. Work is picking up so work on my car is going to slow down, but not stop.All welded up and ground smoothfirst layer of all-metal fillertrial fit of the hydro-boost unit Quote Selected
