I didn't see the tire size unless I didn't go back far enough or missed it.  What did you get?

Looks more Kosher to me.

Lower is better, IMO.  But in dropping the rear, it looks like you should also drop the front by 1/2" - 1", too.

Daytona fender splash shields?

They were on mine when I got the car and looked to be untouched, so I'll say yes (maybe it was hit and miss, given the fender exchange going on at Creative?).

I should be more clear, front splash shields. The splash shields that mount inside toward the front of fender kinda goes around bumper bracket.

Looks beautiful.... :yesnod: (I especially like the radiator, seems to work well with the pristine engine bay)

Is there enough hood clearance or are you doing something to the hood? I recall having to source an original intake to make mine stay within the compartment (but then I also kept my 440 K-frame under the new 426).

Continued success...

Wooops, just looked at your air cleaner base again... very nice design! Looks like it saves a couple of inches of height and should provide sufficient air.

Why didn't I think of that!  :brickwall:

May I ask what bracket you're using for your power booster? 

I'm running the Stage V too & the top of the air cleaner looks like it's quite a ways higher than the fenders but if you're running the Schmacher mounts you should be fine.  Even though we have different air cleaner assemblies.
