Working a deal right now for SN95 axles and brakes for Frankie. Stocking up! LOL.

EDIT: Well ****, he's at SEMA - so I have to wait til he's back.

Surprised as well..the head was off and it didn't run of course...when you got it anyway. Pretty much a basket case.....a $500 car. It's come a long way.

Learned something new today.... the axle HOUSING is identical between a Fox Body and an SN95. The axle shafts are what is wider. So I am going to just get the pieces from my friend... or hit the wrecking yard. The 7.5 SN95 uses the same axle shafts and brakes, so I can pillage a V6 for parts too.

It currently has Ranger shafts in it... here's the length comparison:

Fox Body: 29.25"
Ranger: 29.156"
SN95: 30"

So I am actually slightly shorter than factory right now.

I didn't realize Chad was a lot closer to me than Paul and Matt. He's only about 60 miles from me.

Figured he couldn't of been that close to Paul, he usually shows up in a RV to hang out for awhile.

Slightly, not enough to notice that's for sure. The SN95 stronger... steel or that 1541 manganese ?

Stock would be the same as a Fox. I just want the extra 3/4 inch for wider wheels.

Matt posted this if any of you are interested in showing up 🤣
