pulled the wheels apart today do get them repolished and clean some small corrosion between the rear beads and the rims. maybe I wont need a tire machine to take them apart again..contacted weld racing and they are sending me out new stickers for the wheels. I was shocked when he said he will just mail me some.
also ordered all new arp stainless bolts for the centers today.

well got some stuff knocked out on the car last night. plated the frame rails and welded a 2x2 in will also tie in the rear tub of the car as well
also got some pictures from Jason at fcs race. he is an import guy and amazing fabricator. he is making my fuel cell and catch can for the mustang
while under the car I was thinking about replacing the torque boxes with ones from wild rides but my subframe connectors are tied into them so Im going to just plate them up for and now and see how it goes

yeah I had it originally mounted like yours and then thinking about a 5" exhaust running through the bay didn't make me happy. im still not 100% happy with this and it might get redone but it will still be in that spot

I made a new turbo mount last night ( for the third time) im just never happy with the mounts ive made before. this one I think will be just right.
my welding is slowly getting better lol. I also painted it in high temp paint.
