You will be super happy with the metal diamond blades over the death wheels, ive used them exclusively for 5-6yrs now and my sinuses appreciate it greatly. Had to find something that eliminated the wheel/disc dust

Love your unique outside the box take on how to accomplish mini tubbing! Your fabrication skills really help push the envelope on how to maximize the room developed all while pretty much maintaining a factory-like look. Keep up the good work👍

Detroit Speed for rear coil over .. use convertible deck lid springs and you can completely eliminate all those rods and brackets..

Do the convertible cars have a different deck lid spring type? I was thinking that some had a clock spring. Consider a watts link.

I remember back in 1987 I visited a local race shop here in Austin and they were doing the same thing to a brand new white hatchback. He was running a forged engine with a 250 shot, and other than the bigs and littles, Welds, it looked like a stock LX.

How far you plan on lowering it? 1-2"? If so notching the frame rails and drilling more holes is totally not needed on a mustang. For like $200 you can buy lowering springs and the geometry is fine and nothing will rub as long as your mini tub is done right. Unless you're building a race car. But if its just a daily driver then you woulda been good. But i'm sure what you're doing is gonna work, look great and make good content. Keep it coming.

No the other mounting holes wont lower it, it just allows for proper suspension geometry or track tuning. The car will likely be very low. It will have coil adjustment on all 4 corners.

One of the things that you can do is in the centre of the back covering the rear axle between the tubes is cut a oval hole in the sheet metal where the differential housing of the axle would touch then fabricate a oval bubble to cover the hole and it would give you some extra space over the differential housing, Ford did it with their mk1 & Mk2 cortina's in Europe with the lotus models, these car's are leaf springed and had lowering blocks. If you can you could cut out the wall of the spare wheel well out weld the bottom part up to the lip of the floor keeping the mounts and raise the factory tank up so that you can get clearance between the floor and the bottom of the fuel tank, plus it would also reduce the possibility of the tank getting dinted or crushed when lowering the car or when the back end of the car is under compression from rapid acceleration or going over bad bumps and pot holes. But no mater what you will find a solution. Yours Philip Burrows in Overton on Dee, Wrexham, Wales, UK.

Do you specifically like the "bird beak" body over the 88-93 body? I think some of the bird beak GT's can look nice, and any notchback body is cool.. but tbh I like the 88-93 body style way better. Either way, great work.
