Of course, now sitting looking at it this low, I am thinking I need to find some 15x9 or 15x10s for it. Rolling and pulling the fenders won't harm the ability to return to stock one day if desired. I have plenty of spare parts for the old girl. Still gotta get a supra rear axle for the disc brakes. Drums suck plenty!! Thanks for all the kind words. Oh yeah, I do have to give props to Benzo for selling me the camber plates cheap.

Oh yeah, this is the next project on the list...
I have a newer 5M with just over 110K that I am prepping to go into it. A crapload of parts from Rock Auto as well. I don't think it will get stanced out just yet as the wife may drive it occasionally. She is not a fan of the low cars.

I have had people mistake it for a maverick and even had somebody stop by the house and ask if I was interested in selling my mustang. From the street, he thought it was a 69 mustnag. I keep going back and forth on paint. I would really love to paint it like the Bud Moore Trans Am mustangs and throw everybody for a loop.
Right now, the next thing on the agenda is getting the interior sorted out. I got AC working in the car during the summer. New compressor, which I had from one of my many parts cars and presto, AC! I was amazed that all the lines and the dryer were still good. Air blows ice cold.
Gotta get mounts fabbed up for the passenger's seat.
Then I need to clean up the interior panels and start putting them back in.
There is some accident damage from the previous owner, which was why he parked the car in 1985. I have a couple complete front clips sitting around. The passenger's frame rail is bent just a bit. The radiator support is bent along with the front of both frame rails. You can see most of the damage in the first pic. Had the parts car had good floors, I would have swapped everything into that shell and built it. So, my big decision is: Do I cut out the passenger's frame rail and replace just it or do I replace the entire front clip. Doing just the passenger's frame would be quicker, but replacing the entire front clip would be the proper way to do it. Most likely, I will end up replacing just the rad support and the frame rail. I have another front clip and maybe someday, when I have a shop again I will tear it apart and do it right.
Hey PBD, do I spy an 82 Supra in your sig pic?
