Here's what's been slowing me down on the convertible lately -- getting some work done on the ol' test mule. It rides, handles, steers, and stops like a new car now!

Nice. Wish I could have a test mule like that.

I'm looking for a set of high back front seats for my 67 hardtop. What are those out of?

Keep up the great work.

Hi Reen,

Do you have any shsots of the car from the rear at ride height?

Are the control arms parrallel with the ground?

Hey Reen, Quick question in regards to the Elite seats - does that $695 come with your version of the seat rails with the welded studs, similar to the original?

Nope, but I'd be happy to show you exactly what I did. It comes with the mount in the pic you attached, with holes that line up with the holes in your floor. They expect you to use a bolt & nut, which is no problem if you have someone to help you out. Make sure you use a grade 8 bolt and lock nut.

thanks for the info, I really like the way the seats look in the 67'. Maybe I'll be placing a order soon.

Reen,
Have you made any progress on the Comfortweave inserts for the elite seats?

Bob-
Here are some more pics. The control arms aren't as parallel to the ground as I'd like when the car is at the ride height I like. Dave at DVS has a good workaround for this that I am going to undertake that involves some modifications to the cradle. I saw it on one of his cars and it makes it perfect.

Yes, I had a set made but I actually just sold them. They weren't quite perfect, and they have to be for the vert. I found a place here in AZ that can do the job perfectly and I'm about to get started on that. It'll run me about $350 per seat (not including the price of the seats themselves), so it's not cheap, but it'll be t*ts!

Hi Reen,

Looks pretty good.

Here is a picture of our project from the back



I know that you can't see the control arms in this shot, but they are sitting horizontal.

Catch you l8r.

Hi E,

Yes the SN95 chassis helps, but the real difference is that when we grafted the two cars together, we possitioned the SN95 chassis about 1" higher than the original 65 trunk floor. That and the different rail configurations are the bigest reason for the different apperance.

The new cradle mods will lift all of that up over 2" into the car, so the rear appearances will be similar in the end.

Reen-
Does it involve metal manipulation to the cradle or the underside of the car?

Hi Reen,

2" should do it. That should give you a slight downward rake to the control arms, which should be just perfect. I look forward to seeing the end results.

Will you be posting pics and a how-to paper on this particular modification?

Seriously, I would be interested in seeing this process.

Hi Reen,

Are you using the stock pumpkin mounts? If so, are you making any modifications to allow for the altered pinion angle?

I've done it a couple of different ways now. First, with the stock mount, I haven't experienced any problems associated with pinion angle (vibration @ speed, etc.). On the latest one I've used the Kenny Brown torque brace with the adjustable aluminum mounts.

1. The clamps are made for routing hydraulic hoses and you can probably find them at a decent industrial supply store.

2. The fuel line is Goodyear 300 psi fuel-rated socketless hose. All of the fittings I'm using are socketless on the hose end and AN on the other, and they're a mix of Aeroquip, Aeromotive, and Earl's.

3. The ECU is stock Ford EEC-V. There's a "Check Engine" light on the cluster, an OBD-II port under the dash, etc. All of the plugs are new, with the exception of a couple I cut from a new stock harness.

Where did you get the Goodyear hose, clamps, and wiring harness plugs? I need these for my 302 EFI project and haven't found a decent source. I have looked around everywhere near me and can't find anything.

Thanks,
Eric
