thanks guys. the car actually started off stock with an 8 point cage in it. the minitub job was pretty easy, I went ahead and fabricated my own wheel tubs. I made a templet. I even made the coil over mounting bracket.

Do you have any pics of the mini tud / suspension? I just noticed you still have a stock tank in it. Is the rear stock length with backspaced wheels?

Basically all the suspension is in stock place minus the shocks. You have to run coil overs. You have to cut the shock tower out of it. I'll get some pics up as soon as I can. Minitubbing it doesn't affect the gas tank at all. I'm a body man by trade, and like challenges! But to be honest, anybody with common sense could minitub a mustang.What I'm sayin is, it really wasn't that hard , all your really doing is removing the wheel tub. I didn't buy a kit, I just fabricated everything. Come out pretty damn good.If your willing to do it , let me know I'll give you a hand.

Yeah its in good hands, I've done a lot of work on it since I got it from Wess. What a pain in the ass it was getting the roll cage out of it! Kinda glad you posted pics of it cuz i never got any before I started doing all the work to it. Now I'll have a before and after shot of it! Kinda funny , it doesnt even look like the same car, but it is!

I've got a couple more, i'll pm them to you. And she really does look good!! I'm not the one who put that cage in it. I thought it was nice, what was the reason for taking it out?
