Shock tower measurements

[mustangman1974]

I am at my uncles house and he is trading some frame work for computer work. I think I got the better deal. Anyways. I found a couple of posts with frame specs, however I cannot find anything with shock tower measurements. I have also found out that a 64 1/2 is way different underneath then a 65. I guess the measuring holes are not located in the same places. All I rally need is some shock tower measurements so he can pull the towers where they need to be.

I don't know if someone can give you real good specs to duplicate. If I was in the same situation, I would order a good export brace and massage my shock towers until it matched it.

Any driver Mustang should have one anyways. . . .

on my 1969, the shock towers measure 40 inches across for the mounting points where a monte carlo bar would mount. Even if he puts things right, the towers will sag back to where they were in the absence of a monte carlo bar.

Yeah thats the point. The car was trailered back to california. LEts just say its friggen hot out here. What we actually did was square the lower control arms and from frame rails to measure to factory specs. We found a host of problems from the last body shop to work on my car. Like not fastening anything to the firewall. Needless to say I found a spec and it is only 1/4 in off. A bit to much for an monte carlo, but I think I can make one fit.

On and the body shop is Bond glass and Body Shop of Moreno Valley. DO NOT EVER GO THERE. I unburried the paper work and they charged me 1,800 for fram work to "orginal specs" LMAO lower ball joints were 2 in different, and fram rails were almos bowed in 1 in. Things are actually looking better then the last 12 years. Hopefully next summer I will remember to order parts to bring with.


Anyone know a good alignment shop in the Inland Empire?
