My pic would not be very exciting...the car is in the garage with a car cover on it.  Hopefully I can take it to the big carshow that is part of my hometowns annual fall festival this weekend.

Your car is coming along very nicely!  Are you still running the stock rear control arms?  I like the stance on your car.

Thank you, yes I'm running the stock control arms with TC springs and '04 Cobra springs in front. I'm kinda "old school" I like a little rake...lol.

Uummmm....I drove it into the garage on Monday at about 4pm.....and here is what it looked like by 9pm.





The SO 5.0L is on the ground supported by the engine hoist.  The HO 5.0L is on the stand awaiting an accessory drive swap then in it will go.  If I didn't have friends coming in on Thursday....well, today I guess, and staying for a few days I would probably have it together by Friday.
1988 T-Bird Sport Coupe--5.0 HO, MAF swap, 1-5/8" shorties, BBK/Flowmaster exhaust, Explorer intake, 70mm Edelbrock TB, T5, B&M short throw, Centerforce clutch and PP, disc brake TC rear w/ 3.55's, TC front brakes, '98 Cobra springs, DIY SFC's, other misc .  14.05 @ 98mph with launching too low and shifting too high.
