JB's Build Thread *Update 8/22/10*

Well...I'm bored...so I decided to go through all my old pictures over the past 5 years and show you guys the different phases my car has gone through.

I bought the car about 5 years ago...and this is how she looked. It had the peanut butter interior, a gross tan top, and totaly stock. I took these pictures after I put my exhaust on, and replaced the stock headlights with these. I accidentally ordered clear corners with that horrible orange dot

STOCKish

I added some performance mods to it at this point: 3.73s, shifter. Then it was time for a new black top:

Next up was 15% tint, and I had to get rid of the damn orange dot so I go some true clear corners, also added some 99-04 GT badges. At this point I had also added my o/r h-pipe, pullies, and tb/plenum setup.

I was pretty happy with my car at this point...but I knew it was time for suspension. So I added some H&R Supersports, GMS U/L CAs, and new shocks/strust...also, a chin spoiler for an added touch. For some reason I thought that GT badge looked good at the time in place of the ford emblem

My rear wheels were really tucked in which pissed me off, so I got a 1.5" spacer to bring them out, looked much better:

Then, I won a contest on mustangforums.com and won a 3" cowl hood from carbonware.com:

My buddy Matt did a photoshoot of my car at this point:

The whole time I was working on the exterior, I was also working on the interior...started out totally peanut butter...and slowly became black. Added some parts I got at a junkyard here:

Then, while working for a Ford dealership a few years ago...someone traded in an 03 cobra with painted black cobras on it...and ditched them. So I picked these up for $200 w/ tires! Such a deal. They were 17x9s with 275/35s up front and 315s out back...no thats not a typo...the guy put 315s on a 9" wheel.

AND THE WHEEL CHANGING MADNESS BEGINS

What 315 sumitomo's look like on a 9" wheel:

However...after getting black wheels...my clear headlights looked bad...so I swapped them out for some smoked ones:

The tires were pretty shot on the wheels, so I got sick of them and sold em...went back to my stockers:

Then along game my wheel itch...upgraded to these bad boys, 18x9 18x10.5" 03 cobras 275/35 335/30 Michelin Pilot Sports...I still kick myself today for selling these wheels! Also added black bumper inserts and painted my lower valence at this point.

My buddy did another photoshoot:

At this point I worked detailing cars at a body shop...so I had one of the guys paint my mirrors and wiper arms to be unique...my car was in its prime at this point:

Sadly enough...when I was at school I was really low on cash and was forced to sell my Cobras to justinschmidt haha, and went back to my stockers. But you know that wont last! My main project last summer was to finish my interior conversion, which I did. All I need to do is carpet my rear seat delete.

Then, as I was saving up for wheels...I got really bored with my stockers and painted them black:

Then I finally saved up enough money to get my hypercoated Saleens and back on 335 Michelins!

However, shortly after I purchsed my saleens, I realized I'm a dumbass and had no money left to go back to school with, so I traded my friend the saleens for his chrome bullitts + cash...so here is how she sits today. I also removed my chin spoiler because it was destroyed at this point:

I left out a lot of the little things I did here and there because it would have taken me days and days to write it all haha, but thats how my car stands today...
