    New wheels and front end

    Well, after many hours of banging my head, I finally got it. The lincoln MarkVII rotors are a direct bolt on for a 5-lug swap in a fox. BUT what they dont tell you is the MarkVII rotors DONT work with the Cobra or GT wheels. So after countless hours of research again, I found that the SN95 stuff bolts right on. Perfectly!! Only thing is I need to do is get an alignment now. I also want some cobra rotors and calipers if anybody has any laying around. The toe was changed as was the camber. Now the polished wheels are on the front of the car looking great. I just need to do some finishing touches and they are done. As for the rear, I am temporarily doing the axle swap with the drums. I have figured that good stuff out but just need time to locate all the parts. the MarkVII rotors with the calipers work for that but there is a little bit of modding to be done. Pics will soon follow.

    Now to add to it, I scored a set of PBR aluminium calipers with brand new in the box cross drilled rotors for $100.00. Came with all four rotors. Finally got to drive the car today with the new gears, springs, wheels, brakes and 5-lug swap. Also a new short throw shifter I got from silvernotch, new alternator, new coil. The frame connectors are going on tomorrow. I just did not have time to weld them in this evening, or past week for that matter. Been so damn busy with this car and the wife texting me every ten minutes from Vegas. Now I gotta mount the drag radials I got from u1arunit. The traction issues are now a problem. Big problem.
