I haven't pulled mine apart yet to see the condition but I would like to put new ones in when I do the springs so that is why I was curious which...
Perfect! Thank you. A new wiring harness was in the longer term plans anyway so I will add that to the cars wish list! If it comes down to a...
I do not have a ton of information on that setup yet but I did snap some quick photos as best as I could as I was heading out to work this...
Its been raining here in AZ for the past few days so I haven't really had a chance to drive it much except briefly around the block. The good news...
So which bump stop has everyone been using successfully with these springs? What about if you use these springs in conjunction with the spring...
Voodoo, did you end up using the spring perch lowering blocks to achieve that stance in the photo above?
in Oct 2009 I had my modern ('98) Mustang in a feature article. I don't have the car anymore but you can be sure I have a copy of that magazine!...
Awesome! That reminds of when I lived in NJ and we would do cruises in an out of NYC and would tear it up. Lots of fun and a pretty good car...
I like seeing the occasional 50s cabs you see every so often.
Damn, thats one heck of a ride! My wife and I have hotel reservations already but that is it so far. She is trying to book more pinup clients for...
Here she is! Just got delivered yesterday. She has a 272 and 3 speed on the floor and crappy fake patina paint that has to go ASAP. I would like...
I understand your pain. I just bought a 56 Fairlane myself and the interior was all redone in it at one point and I would love to put it back to...
Woot woot, days away! Hopefully I will have the trans back in the car before Wednesday so we can take off Thursday morning from Phoenix. The rear...
My car is currently at sitting in what appears to be its favorite home since I have owned it, aka, the lift at my shop :( This time the...
The vent was unobstructed. I replaced the pinion seal today though. Now just gotta figure out the outer right seal.
I havent yet. I'll get it back on the lift. Where is the vent located?
Well, it didnt work. Now not only is the right rear axle seal dumping fluid now the pinion seal is leaking as well.
I was out and made a couple trips up and down Central but didn't see anyone so I went back home.
Yeah my wife and I are super excited! Cant wait for it.
Which it fits there just fine I just can't imagine it working to prevent leaks since the axle housing is tapered, it doesn't really get pressed...
So I am hoping the third time is a charm. I ordered the seal kit from Kanter that comes with the seal pictured and the o-ring seal(not pictured...
Our shop rate here in Phoenix for a normal tire/service center is $99/hour. That seems to be the standard across the valley except for some family...
I dont plan on cutting coils any further, next step will be 2" drop spindles in the front and 2" lowering blocks in the back after the wheels.
Went with OE front shock part number, the shorter one would have limited control arm movement too much. Stuck with the above mentioned rear shock...
We use Centric brake parts here at the shop quite frequently and they work great, no complaints.
Awesome thread and some great pics! I certainly love my '57!
Yeah I hear ya, I already have a weekend off in April for Viva Las Vegas but I will have to request some time for some other events since I hardly...
I either need to get in with a shop that is closed on weekends or find a new career. I miss out on so many good events constantly working Saturdays.
My car was still out of commission but she is road worthy again and will be out this Saturday for sure! I thought it was April 4/5?
Haha nice, I thought my wife was going to do the same but she ended up getting sponsored by Steadfast Clothing so shes getting 2 free outfits from...
