Just my opinion but...don't do it. The sway bar has been moved down 2 inches. I would think a 2 inch longer sway bar link at the A arm would put it back where it should be.
Haha ....thanks man....if your local you should really come by Starbucks in marina del Rey on Sunday's. It's called the million dollar breakfast club....really good group of guys I'm prob the youngest (28) there are usually 20-30 cars
Dude im so glad it turned out this good. I knew it was the right choice after all. I bet you are stocked on it. **** does end well sometimes. Yeah me too. But then again, im sure the diffrence with or without it is so minimal he could junk it all togheter and call it done. Unless he plans on drivin sideways often and/or do track days. BTW, the drop brackets might not be nice, but they dont look like theyre gonna fall apart, they just look outta place, as this time he did a rather good job. Most of you guys are quick on the bashing.
Thanks !! I posted video a day or two ago but here it is again. Love to see the galaxie when it's done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxl1teXwvdU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Blake Im glad you found the HAMB threw all of this atleast. I didnt know what I was missing untill I found it. Im just sayen its a good bunch of guys around here. They like to joke around and bust every ones balls once in awhile. But all and all they will take care of you. I hope your here to stay man. I like your truck. DOnt stop learning your doing good and learning alot. Im glad you turned out happy in the end.
Im sure this is somewhere in this monster of a forum, but what size tires are you running? So glad you got this thing fixed, its such a sick looking truck. Now, it will drive and perform as well as it looks.
Jesus....What a thread. Im glad you took the time to ask all the questions and post all the results. Glad your truck got that abortion of a front end off of it. Now drive the hell out of it.
Hey. Wheels are 15 inch Tires are bf Goodrich 8.20-15 3.5 inch whitewall Hope this helps ill shoot you a PM just incase you dont see this.
thanks! hopefully i find the rest of the stuff that i need for my air ride set up tommarow at the swap meet
Is it true these guys shafted you again by doing **** welding after it had been tacked together and inspected by no limits????? Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Great looking ride...now stop posting on this thread and start a new Build thread, full off positive updates on this car! I'm getting depressed by this whole story..ouch
truck looks great, front suspenson looks 100x better and check out my fairlane laying pinch weld http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=745272&highlight=fairlane+air+ride
Anyone know what happened with this... Seems all too quiet to be good news? Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Truck is great! I did have another run in with the shop.....we took it to state frame and had the truck frame straightened 100 percent part from the original suspension part from a previous accident before I owned car....they also plated the entire bottom of frame rail and drove it to rob at no limit where he said looked great! Drives great. Frame was all tweaked but now is 100 percent straight. Everything's good with it...the frame had some damage before suspension because it went from rear all the way to the front....the frame shop said it looked like it was t boned and rearended....but overall I'm loving the truck and new suspension.....I picked up a 1950 shoebox and I have been focusing most of my time on that and not really on this site as much because I'm working in the garage and I don't like some of the **** talking that goes on on this site. I like the nice helpful people though and have made some good friends on here... Appreciate everyones help but consider this one case closed and yes I will and have been driving the piss out of it.....I'll be at mooneyes Christmas show and here is a pic of the new 50 shoebox Thanks again! Especially to people like elpolocko who lended there professional time and advice to help me..and mr****ies and all the others on here as well
Oh ya also rob at no limit engineering said the sway bar with his kit is not made for the inline 6 and the motor mounts are in the way.....he said he can do a cup car style sway bar? Not sure what that is but he suggested I not do it until I have radials.....he said the bias ply are slow reacting tires and with the cup car style sway bar and bias ply tires the car would wander? So when I do get radials I'll prob get the cup style sway bar because he said it does make a big difference. Just wanted to ad that.
Glad it's working out for you. Do you still have the single front motor mount (shaped like a horseshoe and attached to the front of the block just below the water pump) or did they fabricate some side mounts? Just curious how the rest of the kit works with the original mounts. I also noticed you don't have a breather-style oil cap, but there is a hose that is attached right next to it and runs down beside the intake manifold. Any idea where that goes? I'm wondering if it's a PCV system. Finally, do you have any photos of how the power steering pump is mounted?
Wow!! just read all 26 pages...I did get to see the truck at the Mooneye's show last week and it looks better in person. Sweet truck! and glad it all worked out for you.
Haha very dramatic 26 pages! Thanks a lot. Trucks suspension is all better now. Drives like a dream! Took about 7 months and a lot of patients and frustration but It was a great learning experience!
