And the car is on the ground. There is a issue with the front spindles. I was advised against installing the 2" lowered ones but after seeing the end result we are going to change them out.

Once this is sorted I'll post more pics.

Yes it's still hers. I'm picking personalized plates for it now. I hope to put the keys in her hand around Christmas time. Wait until you see what I'm going to build myself after this one is finished.

Corey teased me today with a picture of the rear tire on the ground. I'm going to try to go by tomorrow myself to see it before I have to leave the country next week.

It's up on blocks in the rear for easier access and is being blocked for paint. I ordered my rear shockwaves, air compressor, tank and control system along with 2" dropped spindles for the front. I'm not happy with the height on the front with the current spindles. I want it lower. It was unbelievable how difficult it was to get the manufacture to sell me the dropped spindles. They couldn't believe what we where doing with the car and kept saying it had never been done and no one put tires this wide on a Mustang. The fronts are 255-40-17's and the rears are 315's. All tucked under the car with no flares. On top of all of that the car is on AIR! I'm really happy that Corey was able to get this done.

Hopefully it will be painted and being assembled when I get back from Africa in a month.

The lowered front spindles are on. Won't be long now and will be painted. Waiting on the hood.
