Nice looking ride.
the TCP kit is nice but does not retain stock turning radius. on a track car no big deal but on a cruiser/driver yeah and if you want to go power steering the kit with the pump you have to use comes out to $2800. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Ive seen a few cars run Auto X with that setup and there, they did very well.

Thanks, Ive had a number of stangs and this one is being built for fun, not for show. The wheels just kindof "happened". They came off of a parts car that I bought recently. Not my first choice and they require spacers to work, but they look good. I saw your cougar, lookin good! What headers did you end up using to work with the P heads?

Thanks! I'm not disclosing the color just yet, it's going to be on the LOUD side if it turns out how I want. This is going to be a track/street car. The back rims are 17x10 and fronts are 17x9.

Stock hood for now, might add a late-model y2k era scoop to it, not sure.

Looks good. Are they offering any original-tooling rear valances yet? All the Taiwan repops I have seen fit like crap, with big gaps on the quarter panels.
