Thanks for the encouragement - helps keep me going! I have a few ideas, but I've discovered that often times, my initial plans change over the duration of the build. As of this moment, I've ordered a TCI front suspension to go with a R&C Motorsports triangulated four link rear. That should lower the car several inches. I'll do mini tubs in the rear to allow for a wider tire/wheel package. I'll swap out the front bench seat for buckets since I'll need room for the floor shifter that will operate the manual 6-speed that came with the Coyote engine. I've found a nice conversion that moves the Mustang shifter forward about a foot and gets rid of the sloppy OEM linkage. I've got an Intellitronix six-gauge panel ordered and will build a custom enclosure for it. On the outside, I'm leaning toward murdering it out. Body panels gloss black with black powder coated trim, bumpers, and molding. I'll also do some matte black graphics on the hood and fenders. The exterior stuff is not set in stone at all and may change depending on which way the wind blows
