WOW, Thanks everyone! Its great to see people like the car after all the hard work I put into it. I've gotten better compliments on here than on the mustang forums I'm on lol.

Thanks everyone. The car is fun to drive and has plenty of power......for now lol. Still need to get the new injectors in and retuned. Im hoping itll dip into the mid to high 11's as is with the retune but have no idea if thats a reasonable expectation.
The window tint isnt faded it just shows up weird on the pics. I think part is the cloudy day, reflection of the concrete, and the pics need to be touched up.
I wasnt sure about how most people would like the hatchback but I guess I accomplished my goal of making it look tasteful because I heard lots of "i dont like hatches but yours made me change my mind". If feels awesome to hear that and to see people doing double takes of the car. The car still needs little stuff here and there but nothing anyone would notice without me pointing it out.

I love your car, and personally I think hatchbacks look FAR better than notchbacks, although I'm partial to GTs over LXs myself (apart from the cheese grater tail lights, lol.)
If I had the time and money I would LOVE to find a super clean black on black 91-93 GT and throw in an LS1 + T56 combo.

Man that looks great! I love the super clean foxbody look, I'm sure it turns heads on the road!
I'd love to build a 1968 mustang fast back (red) with one of these badboys http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...L-Crate-Engine
See now I'm getting the itch again

WOW!! Very very nice LX. I love those cars. I want to do a lsx swap in one some day. Keep up the great work. Nice and clean. Most ppl just don't swap them so clean.

Man if the new 5.0 was cheaper for a whole setup that would have been a good way to go but I do love this motor!! Also thanks for all the good words. I do owe the cleaned up engine bay partly to the previous owner. He did all the welding and most of the body work. I simply finished some final sanding/grinding of welds and painted it.
