427Stang

Thanks, the toughest part was fabricating the exhaust pod in the rear. the stock Shelby pod is a massive restriction to flow.

Modified my plate with sections of pipe to clear. 3" all the way out.

Lack of weld penetration from the back side pic, grind the cracks and weld the backside. Shock tower stress cracks are common, metal work hardens and cracks, weld it up and enjoy unless you are planning massive power upgrades later.

I'll let you know.

I will have to look this weekend but I think I have 2 non tach 69's floating around.

I installed an entire rear clip. Support everything and take plenty of measurements before you make the first cut.

I made my own rotisserie. Its a 427 stroked to 482. Triangulated 4-bar rear suspension. Richmond trans, I fabbed the headers and exhaust.

I modified the plate to give more room. 3" all the way out

The ride wasn't earth shaking but you can feel the difference. The Del-Alum bushings have a very snug fit to control side to side movement. Make sure you lube them well when installing or you will hear them.

I used Del-Alum bushings on my 68 coupe. They were form Pro Motorsports (this was back in the early 1990's). The ride was rougher than normal but they did improve cornering quite a bit.

I have used Muggy Weld Super Alloy 1 to repair broken studs to convertible well trim. It works great. Just practice a bit first. http://muggyweld.com/super-alloy-1

Years of saving and not revealing the true cost to my wife! Build thread will be coming when I get more consistent time to work on it.

I don't have pics of the tires and wheels under it but here is the reason for the meats out back. A bit of engine porn for you.

The side panels fit with no modifications. The seat has been narrowed to fit with the mini tubs (325-40-17 out back). Just make sure the top mechanics clear in all positions.

I welded my bar in. It's a Tony Branda One piece bar. .
