well, I better get on it

Got the LCA's boxed, rollerized, and set-up with screw in balljoints. This took quite a while as I wirecupped them to clean them up.

DONE!!!

Nice update

Thanks. I did fully weld those just in case anybody was wondering. My welds aren't as pretty as some, so I omitted that pic :whis

Your on the move. Are you going to sit the seat bases back a bit. May want to if your over 6'. Looking good. bj

 

[Fst Blk]

I put 69-70 seat risers in it. I think that should be enough. I drove Craig's car and fit fine with his lowered seat riser. I'm 6'1 or 2. And thanks man. I'll finally get those leafs I bought off you a long time ago here soon.

I have a set of uppers just waiting for me to start this project. I just need to finish another Project. Keep posting

 

[tarafied1]

yeah Bill, quit working and get back to work! (on the Mustang)

Finally got the front suspension completed and installed. It's only for mockup and to make it easier to move around. I haven't installed the strut rods yet, as I still need to burn in the driver's side. Once I get it over the pit, it will be easier to do than lying on my back.

Still got to finish up the rear end to make it a roller, but I've been putting a little time in on it too. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but considering how much work it took to get here....

I'm pretty pleased. The front suspension is fully rollerized with roller upper control arms, lower control arms with screw-in ball joints, roller spring perches, and the strut rods are rollerized and adjustable. Big thanks to John at Opentracker Racing for supplying me with material and knowledge to build these.

Nice work, glad to see it progressing. I know how frustrating that can be when it takes a long time. You have done a lot of hard work!!!

 

[Fst Blk]

Thanks pops. I wouldn't have been this far without your help on the cowl and your encouraging words.

Bill

 

[tarafied1]

well, I don't know about that but glad I could help.

 

[Fst Blk]

Got the exploded bolted in and the perches tacked in. That was the only thing keeping the car from being a roller. Tons of work left to do, but I'm stoked to have it here.

Congrats on the accomplishment, remember small steps and before you know it you'll see the finish line.

What exactly is the "exploder"?

 

[SELLERSRODSHOP]

kinda looks like the long lost cousin to colemans car before he painted it...

What exactly is the "exploder"?

Sorry, exploder rear end (Ford Explorer 8.8).

Thanks guys. I'm seriously considering getting the steering system, brakes, motor/tranny done and driving it just the way it is while I work on it. I'm tired of it as a heap in the garage.

Steve, think you'd be up for some fab work making a bracket to bolt 99-up 2 piston calipers on the granada spindles? I've also got the issue of the pitman arm. It's a Isuzu trooper integral power box like Borgeson, but I need the the original splined to fit it????
