steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.The MM torque arm and panhard bar are finally installed! Had to do some exhaust system mods to fit the torque arm. Clearances are super tight - especially with a 3” exhaust.Discovered the rear upper arms installed by the previous owner had... (see full post)-
steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.I’ve never been fond of the Hurst shifter that came with Betty. Notchy, stiff & relatively long throws. Honestly, I can’t think of anything nice to say about this shifter.I replaced it with an MGW shifter over the weekend, and what a... (see full post)

steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.Just finished replacing my clutch cable & quadrant, which was much more of an ordeal than expected. I needed to replace the cable with something adjustable, as the stock cable & upgraded clutch had the clutch engaging with the pedal barely an... (see full post)

steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.Did a baseline weigh-in for Betty today. She came in at 3,170 lbs with 1/2 tank of gas. That’s without the Wilwood brakes or MM torque arm, which probably cancel each other out.So, Betty’s gonna need to go on a diet, but it will take me a... (see full post)

steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.My to-do list for Betty seems to keep getting longer by the day. The Wilwood brakes showed up this morning, and I already had the flares & torque arm to deal with.Spent the day yesterday clearing out space in the garage and installing a new... (see full post)

steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.I chose to get the Maier Racing flares for my ‘98. Seemed to be the best option for SN95’s, and $1,300 for all 4 corners is IMHO pretty reasonable for a chassis-specific set of flares. I don’t have the metal fab skills or tools to make my own...

steve_garnjobst replied to the thread SN95 Black Betty.Looks like I’m going to be pretty busy working on the Mustang the next few weeks, as parts have started showing up:1. The Maier Racing fender flares are here. Need to get them fastened to the body, so I can figure out what metal to cut off... (see full post)
