How much for the Cragars?
I was planning on 17s but I started looking a prices for tires, then they will slow it down due to more weight to move, also 17s wouldn't help me during autox.


I was thinking $200 for the cragars with tires.

Things still to buy
Paint (~$400)
Tires (~300)
steering ($295)
leaf springs (~$190)
weatherstripping ($42+)

Those are needed and not wanted right now. The mustang will be going off maybe this week to get the eleanor scoops put on and some body work done. Then I will saving up for paint. Weatherstripping will have to be bought within this time since I will have to redo both doors once they are painted. Next on the would be steering and leaf springs. All ball joints on my steering components are busted and need replacing so that has to be done. The leaf springs are 43 years old and need to be replaced. Tires I will hopefully get for my birthday. Also need to get my front seats reupholstered.

Once all of that is done I will be able to save up for performance parts.


All of this has to be done by May. This is going to be fun.

I doubt Mark has been able to get to it yet due to the weather. I won't be needing the 67 for around 3 weeks so I am in no hurry to get it back.

i went to Larry's to check out the scoops, they need some serious work just to fit, so we have to decide the best method,

shaving and reforming the scoops, or building up alot to make it fit

will know tomorrow

Looks like I will be getting a set of custom side scoops. It will be 100% final once I get my quote for them.
