Here's some new pics of the svt fresh from the bodyshop after the run in with the deer, and our projects which include a new garage with lift, a 68 mustang coupe, and a 72 duster thats going to be no where near stock when finished.

I love lift, I want lift..... and no I'm not just looking around the room and looking at things and saying I love them.... :D
 
'67 stang? you took apart the only dead giveaway with the rear quarters, haha, but they look like '67 hubcaps...

Nope its definitely a 68. Its my 15 yr old brothers. He's keeping it very stock with an inline 200 and 3 speed. Its a pretty neat car actually.

And as for the duster being insane...yes its going to be. 440ci BB with around 500hp, T-56 trans with .5 overdrive, Narrowed Dana 60 with 5.13 gearing, Fully tied frame and 12 point cage, street handling 4 link coil over rear suspension, Mustang II tubular K member and front suspension with coil overs, 17x8 and 18x10 torq thrust M black rims, 13" wilwoods up front and 12.2" wilwoods in the rear, tubbed out rear, shaved door handles/drip rails/firewall/trunk latch/sidemakers/and fuel door, Triple black set up between the rims/exterior/interior, and a million other small things.

The 440 is just a starter motor though that is going to break in the car and allow me to get used to it. I plan on building a procharged 500ci or 528ci engine after I get the car together. :laugh:
 
Thats so sweet, im jealous. Curious, where do you put the lift points under the csvt, since the usual points are the front sub frame, or the factory jack spots using the factory jack?

Oh its definitely sweet but putting the SVT in the air is a real pain. I put the front arms directly onto the farthest forward flat part of the sub frame in the front. In the rear I place it on the frame rail before the wheel between the sideskirt and fuel cell or exhaust. But on the passenger side I have to fight, literally, the pad between the trailing arm( i believe thats what it is) and the fuel tank. Its a pain, and thats all after I have to run the front up 4 inches and the rear 2 inches on boards. This is so the lift arms will swing below the car without hitting the side skirts. The pads won't fit in the factory access covers. It takes about 30 mins to get it in the air. But I have used it so much already.
 
I think I need to hit a deer.....lol!! Looks really good.

I was so pissed when it happened until the insurance gave me the money to fix it. They gave me a little under 2100 and I have around 1200 in it including some extra body work.

Also I had to enhance the pics to lighten them up some since it was dark so thats whats going on with the quality of them.
