  1. Ideally, you want the sound coming from in front of you.... subwoofers don't matter as much. You can always get rid of the parking brake and install a custom center console that houses an e-brake from a late model Mustang.

     

    We're going to turn your simple request into a huge project whether you want it or not! lol ;)


  2. In the past, I've read they were possibly used just to keep the drums from falling off as the car made its way down the assembly line before the wheels and tires were put on. Could just be an urban myth, though.

  4. Oh man, that is a major difference! I would not be happy at all with that part. I would probably go for full quarters, but I'm sure there is a decent price difference to consider.

     

    Yes, Dave, that was me. I found a pair from a car someone was parting out on here. They are a little rusty but solid enough to use, I think. Much better condition than my originals. I think I asked Rick(?) at NPD about the pieces being sold separate from the drip rails and he told me they come from the supplier all as a set and cannot be separated. Maybe one day in the future that will change.


  5. My passenger side went in easier than the driver's side, but I think it had more to do with some repairs I had to make to the inner structure.

     

    When I did mine, I replaced inner and outer wheel houses. I welded the halves together, then clamped them in place in the car. AFter that, I fit the quarter panel and tweaked the wheel house, then tacked it in. The I removed the quarter panel and finished welding in the wheel house. After that, I installed the quarter panel again and after much tweaking and clamping, I welded it in.

     

    I did both sides by myself... in order to get the quarters positioned right, I had to push forward while pulling the panel back and forth to the side. It was not fun.
