Welcome to the site. I used to be photo posting challenged. The easiest way for me to do it is from a photo hosting site, I use photo bucket. On the selected photo you want to post, highlite the IMG link and copy it, then paste it in the area of your post you want the pic to appear. Purdy simple. Or you can use the Manage Attachments window in the Additional Options section below. Btw, those two in the pic are the shop foreman and supervisor. Bob

Hmm... how much better do you want it to handle, and how much do you want to spend? At the very least, I would do: the Shelby/Arning front upper control arm drop, w/Open tracker alignment, adjustable rod end strut arms, Opentracker roller spring perch, upper and lower arms, at least a 1" front say bar, A rebuilt steering box from Opentracker, quality shocks. Or, if you've got deep pockets you can go the Street or Track way. If I had half a brain, I would have gone the Opentracker route. But noooo. Bob

Daayum! Those are purdy. Too bad I've got a rattle can finish budget. Bob -
You bet Bob. I drive thru on the 99 several times a month. Thanks. Bob

Can you check and see if they're working please? Bob

Mine is 40" between the inner aprons just in front of the towers at my Monte Carlo bar. I've seen that number on different forums. Is anyone else having problems with photobucket? Bob
-
"While I'm at it" Yep, said that myself several times during my rebuild. At some point I gotta stop coming up with more crap to do. Nice job you're doing. Bob

For my 69. Seem to have misplaced them after 15 years and 5 moves. Bob

No bids??? BJ isn't looking too bad now. Bob

Very nice work! Color looks fantastic. Bob

Top shelf work young man, congrats. Might I ask, how in the world did you remove the fan from the motor shaft without destroying the fan, like I did? Bob

I wasn't planning on selling these just yet, but I'll make you a good deal on these. 17x8, 5-3/4" back space, includes center covers. I'm down in Bakersfield. Bob

Hmm...I see the common dominator here is power steering. Looks like you guys need to ditch the p/s :) Bob

WTFresno? I like my screen shot price better than the link you show. Bob

I don't see where orders can be made online, or am I an idiot? Do I have to call in my order? Bob

Good observation. Let me review my set up, and what I believe is the optimum set up. My components followed mustangsteve.com's 13" Cobra conversion. The rotor is centered on the hub by the spacer, as noted by you. The wheel is centered and held in place by the wheel studs. I said earlier that is not the best/correct way to do it, and also said I need to get busy and make some spacers, so the wheel is centered not by the wheel studs but ultimately by the hub. The newer Mustang wheels and rotors have a bigger I.D. than the early Mustang hubs. The I.D. of my rotor and wheel are of by .020", so the new spacer I make will have a step in it. I believe the best way to use wheel spacers is when the rotor, spacers and wheel are centered by the hub snout, and centering spacers made into the spacer. The rotors/hubs can also be pressed together using the studs. I mentioned earlier the Vintage Venom unit which uses in my opinion the best way to accomplish this. I have never said my method is the best/correct/only way to do it. But it has worked for many others w/o issue. I hope this clears up any questions. Bob

Umm...I believe I covered that. But yes. Bob

Yes, the hub ring. The best set up I've seen is the Vintage Venom where a ring is machined into their spacer. Using best practices you don't want to use studs or bolts to locate pieces. However, I used the Mustang Steve method of installation. Hub first, hub/rotor spacer, rotor, wheel spacer, then wheel. This seems to work for his crowd, and he is an engineer. I made my rotor spacer which fits over the hub to center the rotor. Suppose I need to get busy and machine some spacers to locate the wheel center hole to the hub. Bob

These are 2012 Mustang GT 18x8 with 6.3125 bs. I've got tubular front control arms with screw in ball joint sleeves, which enables use of wheels with more bs. With 13" Cobra front discs I have 1-1/8" spacer, rear has 3/4" spacer but could vary a bit both ways. Bob

Education is not free. Speaking from experience, nothing from a classic Mustang should be thrown away until checking with other folks. Bob

Yep, disc spindles work just fine. The first set of brackets I made were for the disc spindles, the second were for the drum. Bob
