    Well, its great for me, I just completed the front suspension this afternoon after four months of fighting and cussing at the car but it's finally done. Next week I will begin the next part of the surgery, putting new motor mounts on so that I can get the headers and steering put back together. Hopefully there are no huge problems with this and I am on the road again by the 1st of October.

    It is always nice to get one step of a project done.

    Did those fenders and hood work out for you?

    Jeff-You're right, its been quite a challenge and hopefully I will have that cruise soon.

    Fordsbyjay- It is a great feeling of accomplishment that has been a long time coming.

    Dragonknucks-I haven't put them on yet, but that phase will begin soon since I have to take the hood off to lift the motor for the mount replacement. Thanks again for letting me buy those from you and for the unbelievably low price. By the way can I still by those reverse lights from you?

    Yes, yes you can, I completely forgot about them!!! Sorry about that. I haven't even taken them out yet. As soon as I can get ahead in my school work, I will take them off and PM you about sending them. Also doing a full car weekend in two weeks, they will probably come off then. Sorry again.

    Don't worry about it, I haven't really had the time to think about anything other than the suspension in a while.

    I got the motor mounts that Jeff stated would work, O'Reilly's part#2329, but I don't know what the torque specs are for motor mounts. Can someone give me an idea or the exact torque that I should put on the mounting nuts?

    No torque specs on those posted about 25-30 ft lbs will work fine for you.
