BREEZY B · October 9th, 2008, 08:08 PM

I've done it all headers,midpipe, catback, 4.10's,axles,diff,tubular k and a arms,coilovers, 4 bolt cc plates,and I'll be doing the novi 2000 when all the parts come in.

GreenFaleen · October 9th, 2008, 08:34 PM

anything that doesnt require breaking to far into the engine or a lift or some weird tool i dont have I do myself

F8L GT · October 9th, 2008, 08:51 PM

I do all my own mods except for tunes. With my dad owning a shop, he would have a bitch fest with me if I took my car somewhere

Arsenal · October 9th, 2008, 08:59 PM

I put nothing my car is stock, but I'm gonna do the little things definetly

Tony_90fox · October 9th, 2008, 09:01 PM

I have done everything on my car except my gears...

Myself and a bud did the exhaust...I did the top end 95% by myself...

Getting ready to drop in my 393 in a few months...I'll probably put in the tubular k member, a arms, and coil overs...I like having the feeling of knowing "I did that" lol

2kGT · October 9th, 2008, 09:02 PM

everything - ive had my engine torn down to the bare block. Actually, I lied - I didnt do the rear end gears

Onemanzu · October 9th, 2008, 09:40 PM

where is the

"Are you kidding? My car has been on jack stands for the last two weeks."

I have done all my mods on my own, so far.

Doc8224 · October 9th, 2008, 09:45 PM

I do it all. there are only 2 people that mainly touch my car, and thats me and sweet2kstang. The 3rd is Nate (average Joe on here) he is a big mustang guy like myself and he gets in there and helps ALOT! Hell me and him dropped the motor and put it back together one nite.

futureMACH1racer · October 9th, 2008, 09:46 PM

I do everything except the tuning, and motorwork. I rebuild my own transmissions, build my own axles, do my own suspension work, fabrication, body work. I just don't mess with what I don't understand.

Hey Tony_90fox, we have something in common, 393's lol except mines going into my F250 for pulling my car trailer.

TurboLX · October 9th, 2008, 10:01 PM

ive done everything myself, nothing is built by anybody else

02gtbangstang · October 9th, 2008, 10:02 PM

i have done everything to my car, but if i did have motor work done i would prolly leave that to the pros!

06RedfireGT · October 9th, 2008, 10:05 PM

I've done everything, which isn't much, except for exhaust, because my buddy has access to a lift and and air tool plus he offered to do it for free so, I figured why not.

Vinyl66 · October 9th, 2008, 10:50 PM

i do it all. however i still don't know much i always just sit around reading the manuals until i figure it out then go for it. ive re built 2 engines now (including the 302 in my 66) but, don't ask me to pick out the correct cam or head because i don't know fuck all about matching shit

Tmac3320 · October 9th, 2008, 11:00 PM

like some of you.....i do it all myself also. but since i'm still learning, for the big projects i got a couple knowledgeable friends to come and teach me and help me out. But on this car i plan on doing everything myself, or with someone teaching me and helping.

4.10's ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F8L GT · October 9th, 2008, 11:08 PM

thought about it, but i need the truck to get my car to the track. the 351 in the truck now has over 250K on it

mustangjeff1997 · October 9th, 2008, 11:12 PM

I'm a teenager so I don't have any money to buy mods. If I did, I would install most of them myself though

Onemanzu · October 10th, 2008, 01:31 AM
