Low 11 sec T-Bird pics, now in the 10's.

Here is pics of my bird launching at Mobile Dragway in Irvington AL. I since moved to Hawaii and the dragstrip closed down on Oahu 4 months after me arriving. That sucks, but I never posted these pics.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Repairing a lock cylinder that is frozen or sans keys requires a drill, gumption, and a midget on a tricycle.

The suspension is as follows:
Groundpounder Weightjacker lower control arms
Boxed uppers
Eibach drag springs for a mustang
adjustable front struts from strange
airbag on passanger side rear
drag shocks in the rear
removed quad shocks
no front sway bar
TC Rear Sway Bar and rear sway bar from a lincoln MK VII LSC (mounted differently)
 That is it, the car has 9" slicks 26" diameter (very small slick) and hooks so hard.

The roll bar was custom made at RUFF and READY Racing in Pascagoula, MS, I do not have any pics. I will see what I can do, but the car is in storage right now cause the drag strip closed down, plus half of the interior is out now for seat recovering. But rest assured all of the interior is in the car for these pics.

I forgot to mention that the front adjustable struts are for a 94 and up mustang.
