    Front suspension questions

    Look at the bushing, it has a cone shape to the outside, why would you want to mash that down and trap it inside the curve of the washers? Tell ya what, just go out and do a simple test,install one side and turn the cup out and tighten the end nut to spec, then use your hand to see how well...

    Dealer with 4.5 leafs / mid-eye in the midwest or east coast?

    I can find these on the west coast but the $90 shipping is just not going to happen, does anyone here know of a midwest or east coast dealer that sells the 4.5 mid eye spring for a 65?

    Brake Line Flaring

    Fwiw one time I used transmission line for oil lines on a shovelhead, anyway I used a bit of heat before I flared and it made a huge difference. I wonder if heat would be a no no on brake lines?

    Front suspension questions

    Sorry, Im not arguing to argue,and I never said I think they are "Hunky dory" so please do not put words in my mouth...but I think some of this needs resolution for future reference, especially for 65/66 car owners that insist on either installing things backwards or being told that hard...

    Front suspension questions

    Well, lets say someone with a 65/66 does that, without modifying the LCA...now, someone will try to align the car with it and bind the LCA bushing. And it absolutely does matter what way the washer is installed, thats why it is a "Cupped" washer in the first place, if it did not matter then it...

    Front suspension questions

    Why do people post that pic over and over again and not realize that it is an incorrect installation? Those cup washers are backwards and that prevented the rod from moving. The hard polyurethane bushings, when properly installed prevent movement "in & out" and do not prevent movement "up &...

    Can someone tell me if I did my 65 Brake/gas lines right?

    Can you tell me where the last mount is for the gas line? It seems I am missing something near the tank area?

    Can someone tell me if I did my 65 Brake/gas lines right?

    So I wanted to get the long lines in before anything else and I dont know if the back half is right on the brake line? It looks strange. Also, I think I need one more mount point for the gas line, it is hanging and I don't think its supposed to. where was the last mount on a 65? I have the...

    Finally got a fastback!

    Nice. I still remember searching for months to beat the local "flipper" to a car, then driving it home in the rain. 4 hours in a 65 fastback was awesome....6 months later I am looking at another 6 months getting the car to be what I want it to be.. Good luck!

    1965 Mustang rust repair

    Thanks for the info, I am going to be doing mine at some point. Part of the reason I ask is for valuation for insurance. For us guys willing to do the work ourselves the labor aspect is often overlooked yet is still needs to be reflected in the value of the cars policy. If I just add up...
