That's probably not going to happen, like the sound without it. Your just making it sound more like a single exhaust.

Fair enough - some like it more barky some do not. I do not mind old school barky exhaust note.

Both Vintage and Old air make a proper switch set that hides behind the original 67 side vent so it looks stock

Hi Head

I am in the exact same boat! Just joined the forum and I am building a '68 coupe as well. I am also doing a RHD conversion but I am thinking of using a local guy for the panel work and using the existing panels. I am therefore very interested in the road that you have decided to go down for your RHD conversion. I am also looking at using the RRS front end components. I would like to know what component you have selected from RRS. My engine is a 390. I am going to leave it hooked up to the original C6 for now but I would love to go to a 5 or 6 speed manual.

I have only used their struts and stage 3 brakes. I have used a xb booster and master cylinder. I made my own crossmember with mounts to take a BA power steer rack with shortened rack ends. Not sure how I will go with bump steer. Original steering column with a bearing fitted to the bottom. Have made my own shock brace. RRS stuff is pricey. That is why I have tried to make a lot of my own stuff. I am sure if you use all their stuff it would be a lot easier.

Both seats fitted

Big weekend on the Mustang. Fitted the front and rear screens. Drivers door and front fender fitted. then a quick few photos. It is sitting pretty low at the back, I like it but what do you guy's think. Front is adjustable ride height so it can be lowered or raised. Rear springs have been reset. so not easy to raise back up

Looks great. The stance matches that of the dog except in reverse.

Thanks. Its a pretty cool dog, so that makes the car pretty cool.

Personally, I'd try and drop the front 20-25mm if you have the clearance. It would look perfect if the gap between the gaurds and front wheel matched the rear.
