    I think it's great you are making this road worthy Randy. There's no point in it sitting in a garage for another decade being ignored when someone (you?) could enjoy it on the open road. I'll watch all the Sema Stang videos you make.

    People lose sight that this car was built to showcase builders products and skills. Any driving it did could be measured in a few yards and mostly from the trailer to the display area and back. Never intended to be driven daily and when the car outlived it's usefulness to attract viewers it was dealt the same fate all show cars face. It went into a car collection or storage and was forgotten much like your 1969 Chevelle 396.

    That rubber insulator happend to me also...what i did was just take a piece of water hose that fit on the spring...and painted it black and put a tad bit of grease on the first coil and put the hose on it...been 30,000 miles since i did that and no problems whatsoever...no sqeaks no nothing...just in case you run into that problem again randy if you choose to do that...greeting from Puerto Rico...love your vids

    Hey Randy, Stang looks great! I have a 2013 GT Premium and wanted to upgrade from the factory Xenons - I got the Morimoto XB LED headlights and they are a HUGE upgrade from stock. If you keep the car longer-term, highly recommend, bright DRL and low/high beams work great, and they are plug and play - you can get them through American Muscle.

    Great job, I don't care for those rims either. Surprised the rear is not independent. Coil springs are made from different types of steel with different spring rates so in their case size does not matter. LOL The look is awesome man !

    Love seeing the SEMA 'stang on your channel, glad you're saving it. I have a 2013 Mustang GT I bought new that's been a track/autocross car since day one (some videos on my channel). My car has custom coilovers with double adjustable shocks (and an assortment of 11 pairs of springs to choose from lol) so they certainly have their place, but I think you made the right decision for a street car. Keep up the good work!

    I prefer the factory stance look as well...The first thing I did with one of the mustangs I owned was to "de lower" it and put factory springs back on it. I was easily able to sell the parts because plenty of folks like the lowered look. Not having to worry about scraping at every parking lot ramp is a good feeling. Keep all your old parts so when you're ready to sell it, someone may want to put it back to how you originally purchased it.

    I agree with you, the new springs look much better.
    I also like a drivable car that don’t require stopping at speed bumps.
    I don’t like the rear tire offset either, just asking for tire rub, been there done that.
    I actually am not to crazy about the wheels in general. I,prefer more old school style wheels.

  • @ericzochowski3749
