So today I was taking the inlaw for a short but quick drive to show off the affects of the supercharger, well he was amazed right up to the time the accelerator pedal stuck to the floor, the car fish tailed about 3 or 4 times before sliding sideways, driverside first into a ditch, the car took the whole ordeal far better than I could have imagined, a couple of scratches but no dents, well after pulling the weeds and what not out of my hair and checking my pants a friendly neighbor stopped by to lend me a hand, well the driverside tire was folded up onder the car a few things broke and bent ,


now the question, I am not looking for a high dallor suspension kit but as luck would have it I was thinking about redoing the front end, can anyone point me the right direction for a Complete kit if there is such a thing

cable accelator from a 70's torino.

Braking, suspension and chassis should always come first.

Glad to hear nothing serious happened.

Suspension was up to par, granted it's a little worn but none the less, as far as the accelerator sticking it looks as though the way I had it set that when I nailed it, it gets the arms almost to the point of locking straight, with 4.30 gears thats a bad combo when it sticks for just a sec or so, as for the cable from a 70's Torino I have never seen one but will it work with the carb inclosure, I'm guessing I should just have to fab up a bracket??

If you get a chance, check out the write-up of Hot Rod (September 2004) on Global West's coilover kits for the 65-73 Mustangs.
