    Racing seats for a 65 coupe

    Tight, for 5'7" 180 lbs. A friend of mine 6'+ 275 couldn't get his butt in the seat. He has a 65 coupe, and he bought Kirkey racing seats. Originally he had stock seats, and a 5 point harness off a rollbar.

    Racing seats for a 65 coupe

    I've run corbeau racing seats and they are tight. Comfy little arm supports but a rough ride. I had 2002 Cobra seats that raised me up, head an inch from the roof. I have 06 Viper seats now and reinforced the floor and removed the floor seat riser pan to get it to sit where I want. The seat...

    Rear suspension help

    An easier way of looking at this, say you have a 4 legged table, and one of the front legs is ever so slightly longer. The longer leg lifts higher and the opposite rear leg gets more weight transferred to it, but since its springy it sink. My body looks straight but it's level up front and the...

    lowering rear of car w/o blocks (long)

    Well, in your case if you only want 1" I would say a block should be fine. For this mod, we're looking around 3" where a lowering block can mean trouble. I am not sure about the weight difference. I will say old out to see if the added weight does make a difference but with new springs I'm...

    lowering rear of car w/o blocks (long)

    Before you try this mod with reverse eye springs try loosening the front mount bolt and the shackles just a little so nothing falls apart, keep the nuts threaded on, drive the car maybe 1 kilometer and it will possibly settle. My guess is you had the car jacked up and tightened everything up...

    VIN numbers don't match..

    DMV just checked the door tags on my cars. My title VIN doesn't match the door so I got one of those replacement door tags for around $30 and rivetted it to the door, solved.

    9in Versailles in my 67?

    I sold one at the Ford swap meet rebuilt, Richmond 3.73 Trac Lok, new lines and hoses. $500. I picked it up for $125 out of the junk yard years ago. Guy a few aisles over was asking $900 for a rusty seized one. Swapping in an IRS and the 9 was getting in the way. So, depends on where, when...

    looking for a how-to on enlarging the tranny tunnel

    If you look at the support it is there to hold the weight of the transmission hanging off it. At first I was worried thinking it was tieing the frame rails together but I came to the conclusion that what I left was just as effective at tieing the rails to the floor. My T56 is mounted on a...

    98 Seats into a 65?

    I had 2001 seats (with 2001 tracks) in my car for a long time and had modded the seat riser but it still sat too high. 2 summers ago I cut the riser out of the drivers seat and installed a reinforcement plate. The seat sits lower and feels great. I was in a hurry and didn't do the passenger...

    looking for a how-to on enlarging the tranny tunnel

    I think the T45 looks like a T56. It might be different for your car considering the engine mounts might manipulate the engine height to something different compared to a SBF. I cut a section out and raised it about 1.5". I lowered my engine 1" also. The trans support in the pic, I...

    Wouldn't even have to pull it out, just unhook the end links or the mid bushings.

    Traction Bars and Sway Bars...

    To each his own. I like getting my hands dirty. John used to get on my case about gloves. I know how to wash my hands when I'm done.

    I will give you a classic injection tank if you come with your car!

    Sounds like you have a good idea here, let's see some pics. Website looks like its still under construction. Why don't you just send one to someone that is ready to use it with thorough instructions so that person can give their opinion on the tank? I would hate to have all my good stuff...
