  1. Car parts on a kitchen table. Gotta love it. Some things are just bred into gear heads.
  2. I've never seen a printed measurement for this. I'd use the doors as a reference. Maybe a better way is to have it put on a frame machine and measure it. That will let you know if the front or rear is high or low in relation to the center.
  3. Been off line for a few days. Thanks Stephen.
  4. Just curios if anyone has received a response from the seller.
  5. Steve69 hit the nail on the head. It's by the design and number of moving parts which causes the problems. I've had a Flaming River box in mine for many years w/o any problems. But when I finally install the engine and make it a driver I'm sure i'll want r&p. :tongue_smilie:
  6. "I ended up with a 69 Mach" Ended up? You, my friend, are a lucky man!
  7. In need of the dash frame.
  8. Since we on this side of the pond make our U turns to the left, I'd have to say no.
  9. The frame under the dash pad which bolts in.
  10. Hope this isn't a repost. How does the dolly connect to the body of the car? Thanks. Wish it was mine!
  11. Ditto to 69gmachine. Only thing I would add is to make sure the steering box is centered also. If the center link is not centered when the center link is, the arm on the steering box needs to be indexed so both the box and center link are centered at the same time. Then do the tie rods, then do the steering wheel if it's off centered from the box.
  12. I've only used the style of the first pic, and it worked very well.
  13. only difference is number of nuts, bolts and holes.
  14. instead of a grinder, try using a spot weld remover bit on a drill motor. much less chance for more damage.
  15. I have found if you buy the arms complete you get 3 bolt joints. If you order just the joints you can get either.
  16. it's in pretty good shape. no cracks or damage. the lighter and bezel are kind of crappy, bumps may be rust of corrosion. the center wood grain needs replaced. have no idea what they go for. will snap some pics in a bit and post. got a chuckle looking at it for the first time in years. how many center consoles today have 2 ashtrays and 1 lighter in them?
  17. I've got a black one. Let me drag it down and check the condition.
  18. Demon, thanks for the shaker paint notes. At some point I'll need to do mine. I thought you guys were talking about the upper control arm roller bearing conversion. One post mentioned not being able to powder coat the control arm because the bearing can't be removed. I was just wondering why the kits and arms they sell didn't have the ability to remove the bearings so the arms could be powder coated. Again, very nice car.
  19. Ya may want to price check on the items you're missing before building it original. Even the small pieces are way outta line. R code part prices are nuts.
  20. Demon, good job on the stang. how did you prep, and what did you paint the shaker with? don't know why you'd make roller bearing control arms w/o a way to replace the bearings.
  21. Thanks. Baking soda. Down side was having to blow out all the nooks and crannies, then wipe down the bare metal with a solution to remove all the soda residue. Seems to have worked well, as the paint has been on for years without issue.
