Good to hear that he's on the backside of it now. The PT will be ugly at first, but it is crucial.
Thanks. I'll measure it once I have the isolator installed on the other side as well and will post it here. Hope to have that done tomorrow...
Here's a shot from last night...this is exactly how I want it to sit. [ATTACH]
Prayers Danny.....I'll be thinking about you. Looking forward to hearing from you afterwards
Ordered up a set of Energy Suspension Coil Spring Isolators and got one of them installed this evening after work. I wanted something better than...
Thanks for the write-up and the photos. I too, am not a good welder. I'm sure I could learn, but I'd need to actually BUY a welder first. Need to...
Good grief...the seller probably doesn't even know that this probably makes the ad look worse and not better. But hey, at least it's a good...
That is great news. Good for Ford. After what GM did with the bailout scam, I'll never buy another new GM car or truck. It'll be Ford for me,...
Shame on the corporate bean-counters at Car-Done. If Philly was a non-agreeable climate to do business, there are plenty of great locations in the...
Thanks for the update Danny.....wishing the best for you.
Update from Danny's wife Brenda: "Danny's shoulder is too badly broken to fix, has to be REPLACED. Have an appointment with Dr Murphy Friday at...
He was helping a friend load a car on a trailer and fell off. He broke his shoulder....badly enough that it requires surgery. I believe the...
Here's how my car is sitting now
Truth be known, I'm not overly crazy about the extra inch my car dropped after it settled in. One quick solution to this might be to add 1" thick...
Get well soon Danny.
I performed the toe-in alignment with jack-stands, string and a tape measure. It was fairly easy and straightforward. Now to figure out how to do...
The other alternative (which is what I'll probably end up with) is to do it myself. The toe-in, toe-out is easy enough to do with a pair of...
Got up early and was first in line at the local Midas, where a highly recommended guy works...who does front end alignments. He looked at my car...
When I was running Monroes, I had to modify the bottom mount on the shock as well. With the KYB's, you need the adapter plate for the bottom...
My guess is that the shocks alone are probably responsible for a large part of the ride improvement.
The part number for the shocks is KYB KG4503. As for the ride, it's both stiffer and softer, in good ways. Honestly, the best way I can describe...
My KYB Gas-Adjust shocks showed up today so I installed them real quick, after work, then took the car for a test drive. As my teenagers...
I've heard it's an improvement in ride quality too. I'm really curious to see if that's the case.
Check out my blog posting where I show the drop associated with Aerostar coils. https://mainlineford.wordpress.com/2016/02/02/dropping-the-front-end/
Being near Houston, I'm forced to run 10% in my cars. When ethanol became my only option, I put the Stabil (the Stabil that's supposed to fight...
Rowland rebuilt mine. They are better than new now.
Easiest thing to do is to swap in an automatic column from a 56 Ford. Here's a link to the 54 Ford Club Forum showing exactly that in a 54 Ford....
Yeah...it is one of the more solid cars he's pulled out of fields. A lot of the other stuff he ressurects is pretty rough.
This guy is in Canada and drags 50's era cars out of fields and gets them running. He leaves them pretty rough, but just enjoys getting them going...
The 2016 Convention of the 54 Ford Club of America will be held April 27-30 in Fredericksburg, TX. Here's information and registration forms. We...
