    Doing Shelby drop

    I have herd really good things about his disc brake swap. If you want a really good trick for removing the ball joints make one of these You can take the nuts off the ball joints, place this tool between the two studs and expand the tool. The ball joints will pop loose with out having to...

    Doing Shelby drop

    Please don't misunderstand, I am in no way trying to argue with you or belittle your product, I am sure it is a quality piece that will inhanse the performance of many Mustangs. My hang up was with the "50 times better" comment :)

    Doing Shelby drop

    IMHO as some one who makes and sells suspension parts, the quality of your work should speak for its self and there should be no need to make comments like 50 times better than the competitor. I am sorry but there is no way to make a spring perch 50 times better!! maybe twice as good or three...

    I HATE previous owners and body filler!

    Previous owner of my mustang hacked apart the panel behind the back seat to make speakers fit, used stolen road signs to patch the rusted floor boards, and cut a huge hole in the trans tunnel rather than using the correct 3-speed transmission. On my 62 Galaxie I found bondo 1/2" thick, wires...

    Doing Shelby drop

    If you read my post I said that. “passed the information on to Shelby who did the mod tell mid year in 66” Also as far as the name “Shelby Drop” if you do a search for “Shelby Drop” on the internet you will find many who call it the “Arning Drop” or the “Mustang UCA Drop” You are correct it...

    Doing Shelby drop

    There is nothing about that statement that is correct. The UCA drop was designed by Ford suspension engineer Klaus Arning and was passed the information on to Shelby who did the mod tell mid year in 66. On a 60-66 Falcon, or Mustang the drop is 1" down 1/8" back unless you want to go more and...

    Results from my UCA drop poll

    I agree that being "on-line" that the survey was definitely not a definitive representation of what the Mustang community as a whole is doing. However I know quite a few Mustang owners, not on line who have performed the drop and based on personal experience, as well as the results of my poll, I...

    Looking for information from ALL Mustang owners

    It has been brought to my attention that my preconceived idea as to the amount of Mustangs out there with the UCA drop, AKA Shelby drop, or Arning drop on them was incorrect. In the interest of educating my self I ask that all who read this (owners with cars that have and don’t have the drop)...

    Home mad Sub-Frame connectors

    They are similar but different than the tin man connectors. This design has 4 bends where the tin man connectors only have 3. They mount the same way although I personaly was able to weld mine in from the inside when I made some floor repairs which is much better than the plug weld option. As...
