Some pics

I put a $150 rack in my 69, but I also put in a Mustang II suspension (welder series), which works well with a rack. I think $$$ wise I spent ~$600. However, my time was in the 100 hr range, and tons of modifications. The car handles really well, and I used a tape measure for the alignment.

Thanks! I did not think it would go so well my first time.

Finally passed roadworthy inspection. Vid, although not exciting, was landmark for me. Especially since I changed the suspension on all four corners, and aligned the front with a measuring tape, and it runs straight and true! http://youtu.be/OvE5ZvYQBbI

Turns out March will sell just the bracket for $370 FYI.

Here are some pics of the links, and rear out of the car.

Thanks. Mine splay out to the frame rails. I will get pics after I clean up my shitty welding. I have gotten a lot better since I put that in.

I designed and fabed a triangulated 4 link. Got the brackets from Paul Horton (Welders series). Made the lower link bars from 1.5" DOM .125 wall tubing. Upper from 1" 0.083. Used Hiem joints on the lower bars on the connection to the axle to restrict binding. Lower bars go into the stock leaf spring hole on the front ( I may move it down so the lower link bar is more parallel to the ground, right now it is about 10 deg. Used 2" x 3" rec. tubing from frame rail to frame rail to support both the upper links, and the coil overs. Added an anti sway bar. One word of advice: Measure, Measure, Measure, or you will be cutting welds.

They are small body circle track coilovers. They are strong for their weight. They are 82 series. http://www.qa1.net/suspension/circle-track-shocks/bearing-mount-shocks/82-series-aluminum-threaded-shock

Thanks. I found all the info I need. I will post the *IGS files when I am done.

Thanks. QA1, springs are 225lbs/in, 10". I welded in a 2" x 3" cross member between the frame rails, and that is what they mount to.

New Tranny in. New rear coilovers.

Really nice job!

Nice ass!...on the car I mean... :)

Thanks. It will be :)

Nice!

Bought a gasket, and measured. BTW, I will be making solidworks drawings for a 351W accessory bracket for AC, and alternator, that is like the March style.

Monday. Posted yesterday. :)

Does anyone have drawings for the available bolt pattern for a 351W accessory system? I want to fab my own, with a Alt, AC, and electric water pump. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Welcome.

New tranny should be here tomorrow! Yay.

High bright with HID inner lights. Note, if your doing HID lights you need a relay. Probably obvious to most.

You bet. The old flashers use the current draw which heats a contact, then temporarily breaks the circuit. New flashers as I understand it are digital (technically still analog, but is transistorized), and that is why they need a ground wire. Understanding how they work gives a little more comfort.

I went with a Mustang II coil over in the front, and a triangulated 4 link in the rear. All coil overs. I had to reinforce the rear coil over shocks with a 2x3" beam from frame rail to frame rail. It is an extreme mod, but gives full adjustability in ride height and handling.

I am using a painless universal fuse block, which uses a 2 pin design. I am using the flasher i sent the link on. All my indicators are LED. I have heard of problems when you mix and match bulbs.
