    Granada Swap ?'s

    1975-1980 Granada spindles. Keep the calipers as a core, keep the disc as it might be able to be turned.

    To cheat or not to cheat?

    I do all mechanical work on Kingsford. I do not do body work... If somebody wants to pay for body and paint, by all means take the offer!

    Help me choose wheels..

    Nothing wrong with 16" rims... heck I just bought a set of 16x8 a couple of days ago LOL My only point was its not "needed" to clear Granada calipers.

    Help me choose wheels..

    15" rims will clear Granada calipers, the ones you tried apparently have some messed up backspacing. My 15x7 cragar rims are nowhere near close to touching my Granada calipers.

    New Rims for Kingsford

    Bought the rims from Street or Track.com/. Free shipping sealed the deal! 65intex, I doubt my rims will fit your car. The rear rims only have 3.5" of back spacing. 4.5" of back spacing is considered ideal for factory length rear end housings. Mine has been narrowed.

    More dumb questions.

    A '77 302 came from the factory with a firing order of: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 In a 15" rim size, I believe the most practicle size would be a 245-60 on a 15x8 rim.

    Photoshop: What Im trying to have my 64 1/2 look like in the next year

    In terms of cosmetics, keep the door handle. Looks naked without it IMO. Personally I'm not a big fan of eliminating the dril rail, but I can see where others would like it. Do what you feels best. Love getting rid of the emblems. Did pretty much the same thing on my car, except for the...

    Vintage 48s, but in 15x7 or 15x8?

    They are not available in 15" rims size from VWW. American Racing is really the only vendor I know that makes rims similar in appearance with the TTDs and the TTIIs. http://americanracing.com

    What brand / type of Shocks ???

    How is the rest of the suspension setup? It takes more than just good shocks to make a classic Mustang handle well.

    power to manual steering...just want to make sure

    A roller idler arm will greatly reduce the steering effort, especially on a manual steering car like mine. I use one with the power steering gear box and have been very happy with it.
