Dennis,??
I have a 57 rear end putting in my 65 Mustang. I know I need the 3" U bolts, what bottom spring pad (and shock mount) did you use? I don't have the 57, thought about slotting out a 67 - 70 pad? Any hints:) :)
stuff
Yes, can remove a chunk of shock towers for big block, etc. I didn't cause only using a 302 and shorty headers. Don't know about rear piece. I'm sure it's solid, but I'm not racing, just nice driver.
Have one
Just got my set up yesterday. Front struts, power rack and pinion and rear disks. I'll have to let you know in a while how well it worked. Hate thinking about what I paid, though. They look fantastic. Very heavy duty and high quality.
fun
It's just more fun that without the AC. Did it a couple of years ago. Just everything is very tight. I had seats out so that made it easier. Lot's of cables to deal with. I unhooked the AC hoses, would be best to do that. Look for all the screws and nuts holding it. They all have to...
