When I read about Shaun's convertible inner rocker install over at VMF, I was hooked and decided to do it along with the one piece seat riser. I had already removed the stock seat risers because the NPD Ventura phone sales guy said the conv and sportsroof were the same height. This after I axed him to compare the two. I found out otherwise when I went to pick them up. You don't need a tape measure when they're side by side. Because the conv seat riser raises the seats by one inch, I figured I could just splice in the center hump piece which goes over the tunnel. After measuring twice I cut into it. A the center piece is 1" higher than the stock risers, I made several relief cuts in it and bent down the hump ends and tacked them. Surprisingly I only had to add one small filler wedge piece on each side. The inner conv rockers were fairly easy to install, just time consuming. I can't imagine doing them without a rotisserie. The fun part was welding a zillion plug and tack welds. Crap, shoulda uploaded all my pics when I had the chance :( Bob

Let me see if I've got this pic thingy fingered out again. First pic should be upper control arm dropped 1", and 2nd pic is upper arm dropped 2". Pro Motorsports said the 69 could take up to 2" of drop. I checked the bump steer for both and the 1" worked out best. At full compression (2-1/2") it was 1/16" toe out. The rest of the suspension travel was dead nuts on. These pics were from over a year ago. If it works for me, I've got a few more pics to post.

He doesn't have an axle snubber flange from which to measure. Bob

Heck, make your own. If I can, anybody can. When I was 21 I made a set to fit 65 Mustang Kelsey- Hayes to fit my 56 F-100. About a year ago I made a set to fit 13" Cobra disc's for my 69 Mach. Bob

Is it already installed and the edges are peeling up? If so, I'd use the rubber cement that has a brush lid. But I'd try using a q- tip to apply the cement. Bob

Yikes! Well the full vinyl roof doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. But the half vinyl holy crap! There's not enough vodka available to get me to like it :) Bob

That's a nice looking headliner. About time somebody with skills made one. What's retail on it? Bob

Sheesh, you would think that they would be symmetrical. Mine are a half inch off, which is consistent with everything else on the car. If I were you, I'd mount the bar to the axle then just make sure the bar is parallel to the axle. Bob

Roush has great pricing on take off discs. MustangSteve recommends the 01 v6 mustang master cylinder. A Wilwood adjustable prop valve is $50. Bob

Well, in case anyone needs to know it's SAE 7/16-20. Bob

Sheesh, another coupe owner. kidding, welcome to the forum. I think red and grey look very good together. As nice as that 09 Mustang looks in your pic, isn't it nice to have a car that's increasing in value unlike the newer stangs? Bob

Prolly depends on how you drive it. But with 540hp, I think we know the answer. My brother has a Detroit locker in his 69 428scj toploader which works just fine. A lot of the guys on vmf like #5, the truetrac. Bob

Anyone know the thread size for the fitting? I'm not able to use the search function while on my phone. Thanks. Bob

Why do you want to change springs if it sits at the height you like? If they were sagging or not the same height, or off you wanted a different spring rate, sure. The age of the spring doesn't warrant a change. Bob

Are you saying the 1/4 window delete will save 50-60 lbs by itself? Bob

Don't forget about the hood hinge in there also. Bob

If you want chassis stiffness, I'd check into the Street or Track website. There is a how to on installing convertible inner rockers and one piece seat riser. With a rotissere installation will be much easier. Bob

The O rings are toast after all these years. If you buy the rebuild kit from west coast classic cougar, expect to spend about $50. Bob

I don't know why, but I'm liking that look. Bob

A Maverick windshield fits our cars? Bob

Whoa! Where dat bad boy come from? Vely nice indeed. Bob

The sportsroof have an acute angle, more than 90*. They are often called boomerangs. Bob

Congrats on the progress and fantastic work. Be proud young man. Bob

Flux? Would not it be easier to use some tig or gas filter rod? Bob
