I'm glad you ate making progress again. When this is all said and done I'm going to have to get down there and see this car in person.

Once its all back together it will still need paint and a new top.... I did not always have a covered place to keep it.

The car will always need something, but its going to be a blast to drive and riding in style with those new wheels.

I plan to just enjoy the car, bad paint and all... until I have the monies saved up to have it properly painted... I think I will just let macco paint it all one color for me.

I had maaco paint my thunderbird. Had them apply extra coat of clear. It was their 5 year warranty paint job. I did most of the prep. Paint came out really good and i cut and buffed it myself. The issue with Maaco is they are indepently owned so one can be great and the next one sucks. This one had no issues giving me a tour of the whole place and let me see cars that were in the middle of being done. He had lots of classic cars there. overall he did a great job and its holding up just fine.

Awesome to hear about the progress!

Well the reconstruction is scheduled for the 4th of July, My dad and I are planning to knock the whole thing out in a day. I am going to get a jump on it and pull the old parts off the car ahead of time so its just us taking our time installing new parts. I dont necessarily need the help but its a good excuse to hang out and drink beer with dad.

How far back to I have to go to know what it is you’re planning on getting done in a day?
ATS calipers, xxx rotors, up front, Taurus calipers in back, some hydro boost monstrosity, distribution block, adjustable prop valve action I’m guessing?

I mean......all of this would be easy to figure out.........If there were pictures.

I really enjoyed the little bit of time the three of us spent today, I even have some motivation to get back at my car.

They came in today.....
Obviously not mounted on the car but I couldn't help but place one on the spindle and snap a picture.

Mstng93SSP · Jul 2, 2020

That is going to look great at ride height!

The inside of your car looks like a storage shed.
Good on you for keeping the Cadillac script on the caliper.

Just decided to throw the first couple pics from after I test fit the wheels.
The rear has been rebuilt with a 31spline tracklock moser axles and cobra rear brakes.
We are missing a few small bits to get this part finished we will pick it up tomorrow.

I do not have the new inserts installed, this was just a test fit on the front. The A arm went on easy and they were supplied with the needed washer and castle nut. I wanted to check for wheel clearance and we have easily 1/4 or more.

And yes I know this is the driver side caliper based on the bleeder screws..... the box was already open and I installed it. I'm glad i noticed before we made it all permanent.
