i had a 98 csvt black and was run off the highway at 70mph twisted subframe and fractured vertabraes in the upper back. now i got a 99 chassis with my old motor sitting in it for now, 3.0l is sitting on table while i shave everything and repaint. soon the roll cage project will begin, anyones thoughts on interior staying in or out during measuring and building?

If your referring to your engine build, I dont know why you would take it out. Leave it in with the windows up so it doesnt collect dust.

EDIT: Okay, maybe you were talking about the roll cage. Leave it in for that too for fitment reasons.

If anyone has anyone ideas or comments and what i should also do while the car is in pieces. for those who haven't heard i have two svt gauge clusters for sale back seats and many more just pm for pics or prices. i am dropping the rear floor even so that i can put in bucket seats, this will not be a daily driver my dash will be individually placed gauges with my fiberglass dashboard and touch screen center console pics my money allows for start of center console project lol

Videos can be posted here when this is the only forum you are able to post in. BUT, posting video of your speedometer is against the rules, whether you are speeding or not.

With that said, I am glad that you are recovered. :)

Have fun modding this SVT.

Nope. We don't want to see your speedo/tach posted. Doesn't matter if you are on a track, or on the street driving like a blue haired 80 yr. old.
