I am considering some upgrades to my 65 FB.
Anyone have any experiences good or bad with KAR in Columbus,Ohio?

Been doing business with them for 20 years when I need parts or even purchased cars from them for customers. You can trust them but not the cheapest place but for me close and can pick up what I order.

Reenmachine? Guess he hadn't seen this yet.

His shop is associated with KAR. Check his posts.

K.A.R

I have had excellent experiences with KAR. I purchased a car from them sight unseen, and it was absolutely as described. Their service is great, they are honest, and have a huge degree of Mustang knowedge and parts...and they are nice people. I can absolutely recommend them...

I know..
I shoulda named this project NVR DUN:
I am considering upgrading the front and rear suspension.
Currently I have stock 4.5 leafs in the rear with Shelby underrider traction bars. In the front: stock upper and lower control arms with the Shelby drop and a larger diameter sway bar. Koni Red Vintage shocks at all 4 corners.
I am very pleased with everything else on the car
I would just like to raise the bar in regards to how the car handles..

Yep.

Nice to hear the kind words!

It must be the iron grip I have on the community here -- everyone's terrified to cross me by badmouthing my pops! It is better to be feared than to be loved after all.












OK, that's the end of my fantasy rant. Thanks for listening. :SNSign:
