Good afternoon everyone! My name is Matt and I am new here on the Mustang Source, but not to Mustangs. I have two Mustangs a 1988 Mustang LX and a 2007 Mustang GT.

I am a hardcore gearhead and have been since I was a young kid. My passion is modifying Mustangs and Fords.

Currently, my 1988 Mustang is the nice weather only fun toy and the 2007 is my daily driver, but it won't be for much longer! I should have a new DD by October next year. So I can finally begin modding the 07 since it basically stock at the moment.

My 88 Mustang has way too many modifications than I can list, but I can give you the basics.
  • Built H/C/I 331 EFI
  • TKO600
  • Built 8.8 (31 spline axles, DTS girdle, etc)
  • M/T ET street Drag Radials on Weld RT-S Wheels
  • Front Suspension: Strange Coil Overs, FRPP Control Arms, MM Caster/Camber Plates
  • Rear Suspension: AFCO Coil Overs, Steeda Control Arms
  • Exhaust: BBK Equal Length Shorty Headers, Custom X-Pipe, Dynomax Catback

I have big plans for the 07, but it will take a number of years and quite a bit of money, but the fun is in the doing!

Other thing about me is I am a Mechanical Engineer and I work in the automotive industry. I am also pursuing my master's degree.

I look forward to posting and speaking with everyone.

Cheers!

That Torino is a 72 Gran Torino Sport. It was my father's first car and starting when I was 12 years old we did an entire body off restoration. My father and I do all of our modifications ourselves. The only area we leave to professionals is the body work and painting.

The Torino has about 500 HP from the built 351W to a 408, AFR 205 heads, comp cam, etc. Its a one of a kind car.

Here is another picture of it.
