I have done lots of suspension in mustangs. Unless your stuff was already junk when you reinstalled it I have a hard time blaming the symtoms you have on the upper arms
You need to do an inspection to get an idea of general condition. You need to grab the wheel with the car on stands and feel how much play is in the ball joint.
Off hand to me it sounds like your alignment is not that great
 
If you want to talk and go through some stuff message me for my number

This is just a post of showing off. Nothing more or less.
 
I working on a project with a friend. We are building a clone terilinga coupe.
The car will be used for some track days and club racing and then be up for sale and we will likly build another one after that
The engine we are using is a Roush 358 former sprint cup engine.
It is a clever using a ford racing block and roush Yates cleaveland type heads.
The engine was converted to roller cam with a slightly different profile that will better suit road racing.
We had roush go through the engine before sending it out. Dyno'd at 800hp

I used a pressure washer with the he car on jack stands.
I had to do,it,several times.
In between I used paint scrapers, puddy knives and wire brushes to loosen up the harder stuff.
Then hit it again with the pressure washer

In addition I teach in the evenings
Life has been hectic

Shock towers are not that hard to replace. Just a bunch of spot welds.
I have a front clip with the big block towers I have been saving for a car that needs them

What was mentioned was correct. I have to sign up as a dealer/distributor to get that pricing. I have a small side buisness so I can do that, but if one of you has an automotive buisness I am happy to work,with you on this deal and then you will be a distributor and get that same discount in the future ( pending that you maintain their sales minimums.)
 
They did not seem to be interested in selling a bunch of them to a bunch of individuals as they want dealers. They seem to be a company that is in a growing position that lacks a full dealer network. If they sell to a bunch of yahoos here and there that undermines their exsisting dealers.
 
I have to do things right and legal here as was mentioned if I don't I am on the hook to the government with all their BS.
So while I know some of you are eager as am I to have a new toy. I have to take the time to do this right so all,is fair to everybody.
In this I want to maintain full transpairancy so you guys can ask anything you would like, I don't mind.
 
My plan as it is.....
 
Get approved and signed up with EFI tech.
Get the actual dealer pricing information for all the items so I can let you guys know what the exact cost will be.
Get commitments from everybody that wants product and then get your money. I don't mind making no money here but I'm not spending my money to make no money.
Make the order and pay them.
Recieved the order.
 
Distribute the order, which will mean there will be a shipping charge to get them from me to you. For,those that want to meet up and get yours in person I'm good with that. I will me making a trip to Southern California several times nex year so those of you in that area I can bring them with me. I am generally in the West Covina area when I am there. I also plan to be in stocton and perhaps San Francisco.
I live in Visalia and have family in Fresno so those are my stomping grounds.
For,our Australian friends, I have a good friend and mustang nut that lives in the Brisbane area. He comes to,visit me about every 9 months give or take. Generally he comes here when we have rounded up a couple of cars and some parts that he will put in a container to take back with him. I know he will take stuff back if I ask him to however he may charge you a small fee as there is some paperwork he has to do on his end importing them. For this to happen we need to have further conversation before you send me money.
 
I can/will make you a recipt for the purchase from me (that's really what this is) as I have to keep things proper myself.
Somebody mentioned warranty. Feel free to read the factory warranty for details. Full disclosure is that you cannot count on any warranty support from me other than me helping out to be a nice guy. I am not obligating myself to anything on a product I have never used or installed before and that I am not making any money on.
 
Full disclosure. I am planning to purchase either one or likly two for myself so yes I am benefiting a little by doing this. However I can buy them at a 10% jobber/installer price today with my buisness. That will save me about $90 per unit which is not a big deal but it's something. Keep in mind that doing the dealer thing is only going to benifit me another $90 per unit in savings. So I am getting something off this, but not much.
Some,of,you may be in a position to buy direct from them under the jobber/installer pricing. If you have or a friend has an automotive buisness and you want to do this...by all means, go ahead. You will not be hurting my feeling at all and you will likly get your new toy faster than waiting on me.
 
Let's talk money. I have been thinking about this and am thinking that if I do PayPal I'm going to ask that you send it as a gift.
Why? Well,PayPal charges a fee, and at a zero margin of my part that doesn't work. You can say you will send a little,more to cover the fee but that also implies a product protection that I don't want to be on the hook for. Not saying that anyone would do that to me but I'm not so,sure I want to adsorb any more risk here than I already am.
Ideally all,of you would give me cash, but this is not an ideal world as we are all over the place. I may ask for a certified bank check or something. I am open to I put and discussions for this as well as others ideas.
 
Friends. I guess you can say we are internet friends here which is nice but that is not the same as being actual hang out every weekend friends. So I think we need to have some measure here for everyone's happiness. Again I am open to Input on this, but these are my thoughts. You guys see me on this board, you see what I write/ participate. I have bought things from some of you and I have sold things to some of you. All of those deals have worked out very well so far. There are a few of you I email or text with outside of this board as well. My though is that I want to do this for ACTIVE member of this board. If your are new and have a post count of 4, I don't think you are going to be playing this round. The only way we know who each other really is here is from what we write, the only way we will know you is if you have written enough that we know who you are.
Does that seem unfair? Who knows but it is a though that I have had
 
So all the above is just the ramblings of someone that is nuts enough to have an addiction to mustangs, participate in the conversation and I will proceed with trying to make this work out for us. If it works out well enough I may try it again on something else that we all want.

Can you sell the original for more than you can buy an aftermarket one?
 
If yes then sell it and buy the aftermarket.
Of no then just cut it and use it.
 
Bob

I know it's not a mustang buy it is a good parts hauler.
Has delux interior with buckets and console
 
Someone could also take the 390GT engine out of it for use in a mustang project

I came across a 427 side oiler engine. Standard bore and seems to be in good shape
 
What does a whole engine worth today

Not a hard swap.
I have done several,of them and there are a couple ways to do that swap.
One is to use the early bell housing and an adapter between the bell and trans.
The other way is to use the late bell housing and then you have the option of conversion to a cable linkage, conversion of the bell housing to use original type of linkage. Or you can convert to a hydrolic clutch.
 
It's a good swap and not that hard to do.
If you want to talk about doing the conversion you can always call me

Your car is not a clone.
It's just not all factory original
 
Tell him to FO

Don't have, I need one too

I installed a booster from Tuff Stuff and it works great. I installed a willwood master cylinder because that is what I wanted but there is not reason you couldn't just use a stock master cyl in there as well

There are a couple of things you can do.
You can electrically interrupt power to the coil or the solenoid with a switch or as a backup you can have two separate switches so of they find one they may not find the other.
A friend of mine rigged a little switch in his lighter. When you push the lighter in it pushed in a switch that allowed toe car to start. If you did not push in the lighter the car would not turn over.
 
The other thing that is successful, is that you put a ball valve in the hose between the front and rear fuel lines. That way if someone does steal the car they won't get very far before it dies
