Project Wickedstangs Vert!

[Fighting Sailor]

So I got my daily driver back, a 2006 4.0 V 6 convertable..
Some of you know she just got a new X pipe dual exhaust so I am itching to do more mods (as money/ time allows). Here's the current "wish list":
Dual exhaust (done)
GT rear facia (or CA special)
CA special front facia (or Shelby CS6)
Shelby CS6 hood
CDC Light Bar
Eibach lowering springs
Ford racing suspension pack
Black Bullet 18 inch wheels (will come from my Shelby)
GT brakes (will come from my Shelby)
Cold air intake ( I'm leaning toward airade)
70mm Throttle body
Shock tower Brace (coming from my Shelby)
3.73 gears w/positrac
I think this is enough to keep me busy for awhile... Y'all might notice that alot of parts are coming from my Shelby (no I'm not stripping it down). As I replace parts on the shelby with upgrade items, they will go straight on to the Vert. In a way I can get 2 bitchin cars for the price of one:rock:
If any of Y'all got some of these items laying around, I am on the market....

the only place that i know that would have take off parts is HCM

 

[Fighting Sailor]

I thought of that, but since I am blocked (for reasons unknown) from thier club website. I can't post the question...:nonono: mustangs are mustangs and mustang people should be the same.
Gibs and Special Ed gave me a couple good leads to follow. This will be a long project as I can only buy parts a bit at a time. The goal is 8 months.:rock:

Try Bangastang, he has quite a few S197 parts and I'm sure he knows where to get them if he don't have it.

 

[Fighting Sailor]

True true, I hit him up and see what he can do for me...

 

[Fighting Sailor]

Just looked up take offs on BangaStang and he's got The rear bumper cover for $205, side moldings for $139 and a front Bumper cover for $199... Looks good to me.. I will def. go for the rear cover and side moldings. Gib's found a place that has CA special fronts for $385 so that is on the list. I want to do performance mods 1st, but I am torn cause I also want the car to look great and represent the club... Decisions... CDC has got Eibach springs and Ford racing suspension packs on sale for $125 and $300.. I cant possibly have the money in a month, I hope the sale goes on awhile.

 

[sdsubzero4]

Just be patient, my friend. You can't rebuild Rome in one day. LOL!

 

[Fighting Sailor]

Performance first... I want to get the suspension so I can install it at the same time as the wheels and brakes, just gotta figure out the money...LOL
The other "purty" stuff can go on later...

 

[Fighting Sailor]

the thing is... Once I have the mods I already planned on the Shelby, that will be it for that car "it is what it is"...
Where I feel I can really stretch my creativity and explore serious mods is with the Vert. The fact that it is a V6 makes the project even more appealing to me (in light of what Shelby and others are doing with 4.0 V6's).
I have a few more additions to make to the Shelby (which are on thier way) but my focus has totally shifted to the V-6. So y'all are gonna see and hear alot about this car over the next year.. Any and all advise and or help is welcome (except 2 cylinder upgrade)...

 

[Lordgufi]

the two cylinder delete mods will probably respond Really well to boost =) at least thats how the 3.8 from ford and gm did.

A paxton is def. on the long range schedule. I'm thinkin in 2.5 years when the car is paid off... The 4.0 V6 is well built not requiring any internal mods to mount a Paxton SuperCharger. Shelby is doing it on the Terlinguas with great results.
For now I will be exploring suspension mods and naturally aspirated upgrades to the engine..A set of 3.73 gears with a Traction lock diff is also on the short range list. Also some serious exterior mods to make her look the part...
