Primered coupe finally got the FR500's on his purple 88 coupe...Its still under construction & yes we know that the centercaps dont match, but these are just some teaser pics to show how it looks....IMO, it looks 1,000,000 times better than the old Cobra wheels....The wheels are 18X9 & 18X10 & the tires in front are BFG KDW2's in a 255/40/18 & the rears are BFG DR's in a 275/35/18....

Enjoy...

It has the stock rear end and when i had the car painted we rolled the finders, really the only problem in the rear was the quad shock i had to turn it around and take the dust shield off of it. in the front i had problems with the center caps fitting, but with a lil fabrication we got it to work.

Did you have to shave down or hammer the dust cap?

Interested in hearing some specs on the bumper covers, fender extensions, and body filling at the moldings...

Are those modified stock bumper covers that been filled? Are the front fender extensions still fiberglass?
In any case, that's a hot car

had to take the dust cap off, [Frown]

then grind on the spindle about an 8th inch from the c pin then i used a die grinder on the front cap's and hauged out a good part of them, then just sanded it and painted them black. it now fits with no problems, and the black looks good.

no i made the front and back bumpers buy using alot of fiberglass then just keep cutting and adding more fiberglass after it was as smooth as the fiberglass would let me get it then we used a lil bondo with some putty to finsh, then i cut the center of the front bumper out. took about a good month on the front just to make it straight. streekmatts my cousin and he helped me with this, after i watched all custom work he did to his front bumper, gave me the idea to customize my front and back bumpers. It was a crazy long deal.... but i love how it looks now.

Well you certainly achieved a clean and unique look!

Very impressive work

Fucken looks waay siiick! Yeah I agree, I love the way u guys did the bumpers & moldings. Very unique, no other Mustang like it so far. Issue with the dust caps? Did u do the Ranger/SVO front brake conversion?

The last time I saw "our" car it had the same wheels on it, only with anthracite centers.

Posted by PRIMERED COUPE (Member # 6342) on :

i got that color from my dads harley, its a custom paint he made in the 80's... [Big Grin]

Posted by J24I (Member # 2598) on :

I thought about doing this exact body work to my coupe. Always wanted to get rid of the molding and shave it all. Body work seems to be nicely done, very unique. [burnout]

Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :

Looks very nice, I like the Fr500

Posted by 91CHP_Coupe (Member # 7686) on :

Wut store did you purchase those rims from??? Just curious???

Posted by S281 #314.... AKA SydeWayzSix (Member # 3596) on :

Where'd you pick up your tires and how much? I'm in need of some rear replacements.

It still doesn't run? It's been over a year since I sold it. What's wrong with it now?

he just never got a good mechanic to get that engine assembled and installed. He has some cool wheels on , 03 cobra interior from the last I heard and with all the finished suspension and brakes that you did it is just a badass ride if i could get it cheap enough i would buy it back and put a stock motor in it. [patriot]

Posted by 92highway (Member # 6542) on :

Sweet ride im diggin the shaved custom bumpers. Your hard work paid off. Are those just pinstriped lx tail lights or some kind of tape. Anyhow awesome coupe [worship]

Posted by CaliCoop (Member # 7031) on :

Posted by VICSWS6 (Member # 6677) on :

looks sick....good choice on going with 275s a little bigger tire would have gave you some problem with the turns.....i had 285s on my gt and it was drop to inches it chew up the tires.....that color looks sick....

I thought Mike was putting the engine back together for him. That must have gone sideways or something (just like the car always did before the suspension upgrades) [Wink]

. That car would be amazing with just a little crate motor in it. It's really too bad.
