What Can you Get away With in A Classic Mustang
LOL makes you think huh?
Seriously though I have heard older cars are not policed teh same as newer cars such as window tinting. However Im wondering if I have an older car frame and body but have a newer fuel injected motor and so forth would i have to go and get me emissioned checked at the classic level or the engines year? Anybody know about this as Im basically gonan put a non emmisions motor in an older msutang but use almost all my parts form my wrecked 88. Also what can i use form my 88 in suspension terms? Can I still use my rearend and all my control arms and so forth as I have quite a bit of money into parts. Anyone try to baically use everythig out of a fox body on a classic besides teh frame rails and body? I mean the years form liek 64 1/2 to 68 or 69 and 79 if it would be easier to accept my parts.

Hell that would be nice and I'm sure it's done. Get the new cobra engine take off the mufflers and cats, nice 3' exhaust all the way back. =) That'd sound real nice. Tub out the car, remove anything that has weight to it. Remove all chrome (for weight purposes) paint in 5 different colours of primer and then take it to the track.
