1. Ridiculous. There's NO reason for you to put manual brakes on your car. A new 87-93 Mustang GT m/c with booster is only $110!

2. Either factory it with the console or go buckets and a B&M mounted on the carpet. I vote for the factory...

3. Lose the Addco bar and the Summit drilled rotors. A TC front bar is bigger anyways, and the drilled rotors crack. Powerslots if you must, but high-quality flat rotors and Mark VII calipers will go a long way. SS DOT brake lines are a must for road-racing.

4. The 8-holes won't fit once you get the 11" fronts. Powdercoated white 10-holes would look killer.

5. Again, forget the Summit intake. A proper Edelbrock Performer Air Gap is only a few more dollars and will give you a much fatter powerband. Not that I don't like Summit branded stuff (I have their catch can and a bunch of other odds and ends) but putting an el cheapo intake on GT40P's is like building an awesome 331 and forcing it to breath through a single 2 1/4" exhaust.

What do ya mean? It's something I found at the JY and threw in my toolbox. It is an APC Ricer pedal kit but it looks alittle better in my car. Not good, just better. The rubber on both of my pedals is work down:toilet:

I have the facilities, tools, some parts... getting more soon,  just lacking time and willpower at the moment.
