    Two questions...Wiring, and Steering Column

    I think I am going to stick with my stock column. I will contact one of the vendors, or see if this guy on e bay will restore mine for a decent price. You guys have been awesome, thanks for the advice! 87

    TCP rear coilover experiences...

    At 6-7 grand for their rear set-up, I don't think many have bought the system. Check some of the other forums like Vintagemustang.com, and maybe corner-carvers.com I checked out your music, and it's good stuff. My brother and I will be performing in San Diego at North Coast Calvary Chapel...

    I got my deposit back LAST year, after waiting forever on the 69-70 dash. I would get your money back. 87

    Two questions...Wiring, and Steering Column

    Ok, I FINALLY pulled the dash and steering column out of my car. Once I laid the wiring harness out before my wife, she demanded that it be replaced. It does look kinda crappy, but I was going to just check it all out and fix what needed fixing. Since she has put up with hours upon hours...

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    A thousand dollars just isn't possible. For those of you wondering why these kits are so expensive, add up what it would cost to build one. Rod ends, bungs, CNC work, shocks and springs, steel, tie rod material, spacers, bolts...it's not cheap. Then you have to pay yourself, and the shop for...

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    This kit uses the stock spindles, so brakes are up to the buyer. I am TRYING to have the car ready by November, and if it is, I will be in Phoenix for that. Shock towers can NOT be eliminated with our stuff. Gram

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    Springs are going to be in the 2.5"x12" in the 300-350lb range. Price is going to be dependent on what the CNC guy quotes me, and what comes through with Bilstein. We are shooting for under 2 grand. Powder coating is done here locally by a guy that I use. Uncoated will save you 100 bucks...

    Couple cool pics...new suspension design

    Obviously nothing is in powder coat right now, but this is the new, and final design for testing. We have screw in ball joints top and bottom. We have 5" of travel with zero bumpsteer. Everything can be adjusted at the rod ends. We have Koni's on the car now, but it is looking more and...

    Global West or TCP?

    I never said living room couch ride. I said softer than a stock type suspension, with the 620lb springs. How many people here have complained about their cars riding like 4x4 trucks with those springs and KYB shocks? If you are going to hard core road race your Mustang, then a stiffer coil...

    Global West or TCP?

    This is correct. We are looking at a 300-350 spring on our system, where most everyone I know is running a 620lb spring on their cars (stock suspension). Moving the load from the upper control arm, down to the lower and closer to the ball joint, improves wheel rate over 50%. Softer ride...

    Global West or TCP?

    Ahem...our system will be much cheaper. I was going to stay out of this thread, but I feel like some of you should be aware that we are very near to a completion of our coil over kits. 87

    Hydraulic or Solid Roller Camshaft?

    Bronze gears don't last, but it doesn't make a difference if it is a hydraulic roller or a solid roller. Use a steel gear, and it will last a forever. As far as valve springs go, that all depends on the size of the cam. Again that is not specific to a solid roller. You can run a HUGE...

    Hydraulic or Solid Roller Camshaft?

    Yea...my thoughts exactly. I have been a solid cam guy since I started building hot street engines. Of course, my idea of a fun saturday, includes tweaking with my carb, adjusting the valves, and washing the car. Depends on if you want to set the valves, and then not touch them again, or...

    I used to paint houses with just a paper mask. Then I got sick and almost died. That silica in your system is dangerous. You can learn more at http://www.silicosisfyi.com/ Gram

    sand blasting

    WEAR A RESPIRATOR!!! This stuff will damage your lungs, so make sure you wear a full respirator. Don't settle for a paper mask. Yea, I would do it outside as well...it gets everywhere. 87
