I have a 96 GT, pacific green coupe. I will be replacing a bunch of body parts and painting it, same color. I am going to be using a 4" harwood hood, but not sure about the rest, help me decide:

1. Saleen front bumper/sides/rear
2. Saleen front and rear with shaved skirts
3. Saleen front with a v6 rear
4. Stock all around
5. Stock front with v6 rear (so it says mustang not mustang gt)

The front has to be replaced no matter what, my stocker got tore up when some *** backed into my car and left when I was in a bakery. Also, should I buy fiberglass bumpers, or urethane? My father does body work/paint for a living for Con Edison( biggest power supllier in NY state) so that wont be costing me a dime

 

Lol, I read through it too fast and thought it said a "hardwood hood" . I thought that's gonna be a little heavy.

 

I say,skip the good looks and go for a blower.
I love the look of saleen body kit.

 

Urethane all the way.

 

Dean....nevermind I cant even think of anything funny.

Tommy....I was going to, but I am on a VERY limited budget and cant afford to do it the right way so that it would last...so I'm playing with nitrous instead!

Islander....Thats what I was leaning towards, which sucks because it is 2x as much, but I know it will prep better, look better, and hold up longer.

 

If You decide to go with N2O,stay away from Noszle direct port,NX wet kit will make more power,just ask Lew and Dave.

 

I agree with urethane,I work in a bodyshop and fibreglass is a b*tch to work with.

 

go with a saleen body kit....or just do it up stock again...

 

I bought a nax wet kit, but I also bought Daves cold fusion parts. If I cant find a place for my dad to spray the car (he cant do it at work) how much do you think it would be at your shop (Not looking for a set in stone estimate, just an idea).

 

Matt you made it over, lol

Saleen it is, but should I go wingless, or saleen s-281?

 

Stock all around.

 

Well, I am sticking with a stock front bumper...dont have the money to get the parts and have them painted, but I picked up a new front bumper for a great price FREE...so it will be all stock, with the Harwood hood, no wing, and instead of the ugly gt4.6 badges I am sticking the runny pony with the stripes on there, and shaving the ford emblem off the trunk lid too.

 

Shop were I work is very,very expensive.WE work mostly on highline cars,it would cost You a fortune to get it done by Us www.compactkars.com

 

looks like a damn nice place though...thanks for the info. I think my dads boss is going to let us pull his 68 camaro drag car out of the heated garage and set up a temp spray booth in there. Thats actually where my dad sprayed that camaro and it has won best in show in numerous shows. My dad sprayed it with straight PPG black, no mixed in colors, looks a mile deep!

 

I say put a mach one lip on it





















Dom will be here in 5, 4, 3, 2....

 

HAHAHAHA sad part is I already looked into it, and thought about doing it. Not sure though, I could use that 60 bucks on the new bushings I need for my controls arms so I can install them (90 total, but close enough)

 

Gary just get the car running and race it ! You need to worry about how the car is going to run N/A before you start messing with nitrous and looks of the car .

Lew

 

You are definately right. The nitrous wont be on the car for a while, probably not until next season. The looks though, someone hit my car when it was in my driveway....so the body has to be worked on. All I have to buy is the hood and side scoops, and the paint. Have everything else, and I got the front bumper for free.
