Default 89 LS Mustang Coupe Build

Its been almost 2 years of gathering parts for this car but its finally starting to come together. I figured I would make a thread and show some pics of the progress. I will continue to post pics as it progresses over the next few weeks. The goal is to have the car running by TX2K12.

Few people I want to thank for their advice and help in the build:
510 Race Engineering (Matt, Randy, Jason, Chris)
HKE (Erik)
Circle D Convertors
Pro Systems Carbs
Custom Chassis Work by Dave

Short Parts List:
HKE 408
510 Race Engineering Heads
Custom Cam by Pat G
Pro Systems Carb
Circle D Convertor
AJE K-Member & A-Arms
UPR Coilovers and Strange Struts and Shocks
UPR Anti Roll Bar
Built TH400 w Trans Brake
Super Victor
Dynatech Headers 1 7/8"
Built 8.8 Rear End
Aerospace Front & Rear Drag Brakes
To much to list.
