94-04's Are SN-95 Bodies.

And there all in the same ballpark...

F8L GT · November 16th, 2009, 07:58 PM

the scale i used before i started said the car was 3400 with me in it, i still have the factory seats so once those are swapped, i should lose a little more

F8L GT · November 16th, 2009, 08:01 PM

the curb weight of a stock new edge gt is 3280

330CubeGt · November 18th, 2009, 12:53 AM

pyschopath76 · November 18th, 2009, 07:53 AM

i want to drag out them backseats as well and put in a rear seat delete kit, but i cant find one that is the same color as mine. i have the biege interior and i want to keep it the same color if i can.....but the only ones i can find are charcoal and black...

F8L GT · November 18th, 2009, 02:24 PM

psycho, you could always get one of those and find some carpet or fabric from an upholstrey shop and just recover them.

pyschopath76 · November 18th, 2009, 02:31 PM

as part of my sponsorship i have to attend so many car shows to advertise, so I want the interior to look good also. taking out all the interiot panels saves about 12-15lbs so its not a big deal

2001gt · November 18th, 2009, 10:26 PM

how is the sponsor thing is it kind of a headace. i want to do it but i dont want to have to go to car shows all the time and things like that and plus i get deployed alot. so im just turning my stang into a drag car one part at a time.

F8L GT · November 18th, 2009, 11:08 PM

Not bad, I know the guy that sponsors me so its not that big of a deal, plus I also have our business as a sponsor so it all works out. I pick what shows I want to do

2001gt · November 19th, 2009, 05:32 AM

thats cool is it hard to get sponsored if you dont know people? what kind of fuel system do you use? i also thinking about putting a fuel cell right were my spair tire is. cutting that recess out framing the underneath of the body with 1" square tube metal for a frame for the fuel cell to be recessed into the trunk. what are your thoughts on that and do you know how much a gloss black paint job goes for?

F8L GT · November 19th, 2009, 06:13 AM

im still running stock fuel. what color is your car now? if its not black it will be costly, all the jams and everything else will need to be painted the new color
