    Just be sporting a Black T-shirt, Levi's with deep cuffs, black-and-white tennies. Someone'll have to stop!
    It's who you look like you are.

    What's with the breaking of lower ball joints, anyway? (extreme angles of geometry?)
    Love the 'improved' suspensions.

    I talked to Alex I found him 2 ball joints. He's on his way to salina. He's going to double check and see if they have some there if not I will bring them up to him. I've located them. david

    Hoping this works out for Alex soon. Using upper ball joints for lowers on aftermarket Mustang II setups is common practice but NOT good Ju-ju, so I am told by those who are really in the know. Having learned the hard way, Alex might want to re-think that one when he gets home - hopefully without further incidents.

    Check the PM box you better have him call me when he gets settled in at the show.

    If no one else can help I'll figure out how to get gas money and fly overthere myself. its about 6 or 7 hours as I recall but I am the king of building one on the side of the road.

    Im in dodge city ks. My local parts house has 2 in stock. Tried to call alex but no answer. Get hold of me if I can help. Even have shop space if he can get here. Trailer if I have to. 620-682-0475
     
  14. Good man.

    If the show has a hard luck award Alex should be a shoe in. I hate to see this happening but at least he will never ever be afraid to road trip after he survives this one.

  17. Do you really think he drives it that low......the thing is on bags man.....


    Bump for Alex. If he was in the Pac NW I'd already be there helping him out.
