Did you have any problem with the 390 clearing the steering gear box? Mine will not fit past it but I think I see why now. It's not the same as yours. I had to build mounts to raise the engine 2".
ariel, i spaced the mounts up an inch. still had issues and didnt want the engine to sit way high so i cut and welded the mani. ill get a pic up tomorrow
What did you use to get the rust off your bumper, Ive got it off but you can still tell where it was.
I used polishing compound and a cotton cloth. It comes in a green container, make sure its the polishing compound and not the paint compound. You have to put alot of elbow grease into it!
just gathering parts for the bag setup. got my exhaust in just need to make 2 bends to get by the trans crossmember and instal gl***packs and turn outs. Ill get some pics up tomorrow!
Well; went after the Granada spindles with the disc brakes. That was the only thing gone from the car. Guy said he had a standing order from some Mustang guy for all the Granada, Versailles and Monarch set-ups they got in. What a pisser. Still looking.
Im back around and have had some progress on the merc! Med school took priority but im back in the game. Will get some pics up soon. Since i last posted I finally got my 2008 charger seats installed, front and rear bench. wired up the drivers seat, nothing like a power seat in the 56!
this weekend i will be mocking up the new posi rear i picked up. its out of a 95 camaro and has factory trailing arms. this will make bagging the rear a lot easier. pics will be up this weekend
Also going to trim the spring pocket up front this weekend. My question is can I plate the lower control arm and mount the bag right to the plate or should I use a lower cup mount?
