Good looking, need more pictures.
I didn't read everything above so forgive me if I ask a repeat question, but did you have to shorten the half shafts and how did you get the wheel/tire to clear by the trailing arms?
Thanks,
Trevor

A mustang owner saying "everyone has vettes" is the pot calling the kettle black.... I bet the ratio of mustangs to corvettes is 10:1 here.
Ive owned 3 myself including 1 cobra and IMHO they where all a joke. So overrated it's not even funny. The only thing a mustang has got is the sound. They do sound great but they drive like family car,& get beat by an integra.
Their are a few mustangs guys out their with good hands and fast cars. But in my life Ive seen ford pintos and school buses that would stand up off the line... But that don't mean all pinto's and school buses are fast. In my experience, the only people who think stock mustangs are fast, are people that have never drove a fast car.
COPO. Outstanding work! The car looks great man. Everything about it is tastefully well done.
Ive got one question. In the picture below, is the bracket on the right welded in backward or are they a reason it is going in the opposite direction from the other side? I don't mean any disrespect, I'm thinking of doing something like this in the future and just wondering if their is a reason behind it.

They say the same thing about us.
I have seen those Blue Oval guys haul *** past Vettes 10:1 for over a decade.
Not talking 14's or 15's.
I am talking 8.0s, 7.0's, 6.0's.
Been to the chassis and engine dynos with them.
When they say they have 1,400HP or over 2,000HP on tap they are not lying.
Just the guys in your hometown area.
Your Mustangs must have run like Chit..............
Good Cobra runs strong and only the 2009-2011 ZR1 Supercharged Vette will spank one easily.
Have to know how to drive that Vette & Mustang 1st too.
Do not granny shift at 5k only.
I love Vettes & Mustangs.
Shoot me dead if you do not like that.

And please tell me you aren't claiming street cars running 6's, 7's and 8's.

Come down here.
Moved the trailing arms in and made the half shafts longer. It's above.
That was a bracket that I used to get ne started. It's just hanging in place.

I still love that color incredible work you're doing. Sometimes I feel like I should start over and get out of the soulcrushing work I'm doing and learn something where I could build something really wicked. Heck I'd be happy learning how to paint my car.
