[What did you do to/for your Mustang today?]

Next week she’s going in to install composite rear springs, white center console w cup holders & LED fog lights

[SparkyGT 's 1969 GT 350 Restoration]

Any news ? The stock upper seat belts are ridiculous. I installed proper modern 4 point harness and some modern seats so they’re actually usable. Tossed in a NARDI steering wheel too for more COBRA DNA and cus stock wheel is nasty plastic thing. I’ve never had a car as popular as this. Everybody loves it.

[Tempted to go full restomod]

I’m just doing bolt ones. I installed a T6 trans, AC, ecklers shocks, springs, fat sway bars, BAER brakes on front, fake HALIBRANDS, NARDI steering wheel, Bluetooth, serious race harnesses & better seats custom upholstered.  I got some new composite rear springs to stop the original springs from being so noisy. I’m just day dreaming. I won’t mess her up. She’s a beauty.

Don't do it. Just buy a newer Mustang, even the GTs are bad ass. 

Prob a better idea than mine 

[Tempted to go full restomod]

The new Shelby GT350 & GT500 are beautiful cars.

I love my 69 GT350 too but I have zero doubt a new Gt350 will smoke mine all day long in every category except looks.

dropping a 69 Shelby Gt350 on a 2022 GT500 would be madness. Getting tempted to go there or maybe I just get a 2022 GT500 too.

[Best aftermarket rear suspension ?]

My first stage was front lowered EIBACH springs, shocks & fatter sway bars

rear EIBACH shocks & fat sway bar.

I also added AMERICAN RACING “Halibrands” wrapped in fat modern MICHELINS. She has front BAER brakes too.

I have race cars so I just want a comfortable cruiser.

inside I added Bluetooth, new speakers, NARDI steering wheel, and CORBEAU seats w custom upholstery and JEGS 4 point harness bcus the original upper harness is ridiculous to wear

[Best aftermarket rear suspension ?]

My Shelby runs great but the rear suspension makes nasty loud noises. Thinking of replacing entire rear suspension . Which one did you install and what do you like or dislike about it? Thanks

i found coil spring kit and composite leaf springs. I used composite leaf springs on a 1968 Vette & they rode much softer than stock. I might try those.

[Stopping steering wander]

Thanks guys

Could they be for electric mirrors?

No, cus the mirrors are manual

[Stopping steering wander]

So she wanders a bit on the highway sort of esses down the road. I just have to be alert & bring her back to center. Nothing crazy like my 1960 Eldorado which is terrifying at 60 mph. What can be done to tighten the steering to prevent wander ? Thanks.

[What did you do to/for your Mustang today?]

I’ll have to play w them & figure that out 

[What did you do to/for your Mustang today?]

Got the new seats in you can see the NARDI steering wheel there too. They work much better w the race harness that is mounted on the stock roll bar. Reupholstering them in white w the Cobra & blue stitching took MONTHS, IDK why.

they are comfy too.

Next issue is getting her to stop wandering in the highway. After I fix that I can add MORE POWER!!!!!!

[What did you do to/for your Mustang today?]

New seats arrived. Sending them to upholsterer to be wrapped in white leather w grabber blue stitching. I’ll finally be able to properly use the race harnesses.

[suspension/steering upgrade]

Keeping mine near stock. I added EIBACH springs & shocks from & rear and cut the springs w a saw to lower car. Handles like a modern car. Also added Halibrand wheels & modern MICHELINs wheels & BAER big brakes

[What did you do to/for your Mustang today?]

Brakes fixed, don’t  pull anymore.  Steering aligned. New seats ordered. Waiting on kit to stop T5 trans from leaking on the flatbed.
