update on me we are supposed ot be back on the 3rd of june...... decided i want to go with the Hellion turbo kit and put a T-76 on the car but the engine i want w/ components is whats going to take a while to get.
update to parts list ordered so far on dpeloyment
-MM front coilover kit
-Steeda oil separator kit

does any one know a a decent place to recommend for labor to have some of thes eparts put on for hte rear end because they needed to be welded and some just take a pro i know JBA can be expensive w/ labor

lol funny guys ill be spending a lot of time at miramar auto hobby shop installing everything that doesnt require a professional. but i do have a favor to ask of some one who reads this. ive been trying to write cobeau using their contact us link but its not working. here is there number 801-255-3737. here is my question:

I am currently foward deployed to Iraq, but am highly iterested in buying the CR1 all black leather. My question is can I get the 5 point harness with that, and also do you have any big mans tracks or just the ones offered for your seat because I am 6'6" 1/2. This will be for a 1996 Cobra Mustang Hardtop which will be used for daily driver/ weekend track warrior w/ various shows and will have a t-76 turbo kit with a built engine. Any information is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time. im looking to order these products upon response to this question from latemodelrestoration.com. again thank you
