Shag got high today......go figure!!

Please understand that my priorities with two full grown kids will be very different than Justin's or anyone else with a new young family. I have plenty of time on my side for Shag whereas Justin and others similar to his situation, can devote only so much time for the hobby. I am NOT trying to beat him. Having to spend every Sat & Sun on the car as well as many afternoons during the week, I am only trying to have Shag running for MITM.
 
Easy cowboy... Family above cars always takes priority. Justin definitely has different priorities right now.

Just saying you're moving along well.
 
Kudos to Craig for all the amazing progress! I am very impressed, but my car isn't done because I haven't made it a priority!!!

Seeing Shag and Jeff's Vert Project have made me realize it isn't getting done if I don't make time to work on it.

Bottom line, my wife and I agree that the Mustang needs to get done. My goal is to finish it this year for sure.

Here you go, I will say it here, in Craig's post I will finish my car this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
In regards to the inside lip of the wheels close proximity to the UCA....

Although I believe you'll be fine with the clearance that you have, some owners... maybe with less clearance.... grind off the the outside edge of the UCA to create a little more breathing room. Your picture perfectly captures the possible interference issue. If you'd have gone with 4.75" BS wheel, you'd have a problem. A 17" wheel would move the wheel lip above the outer egde of the UCA. Nice picture.

Very Jealous, Craig. But good to know that wheel/tire size combo works, because that's the combo I want on my car:p

Michael, I think our trick worked for we got Justin to commit in writing. I think I'd better get into turbo drive for I have a feeling I'll be working on a silver 390 in the upcoming months if not weeks.
 
Wow writing checks for those elves to visit every night is finally showing some progress. :vic :beat

Hey Justin, I know your time must be a hard thing to come by these days. Maybe we need to schedule some group help time. Pick a couple of weekend days, and I'm sure we can get a few extra hands to help speed up the process.

Nor Cal StangFix'ers need more fastbacks on the road around here! :vic

Hmmm, I fell right for it!

Thanks guys I am going to get on it!
 
You guys are mean. :po
Give the guy a break. He's actually the one doing the work....no elves involved. :lol
 
wow shags looking good..I would be worried about the gap with the UCA and the rim, what about the hood , like craig said. Maybe the moulding
 
How would the gap at the UCA be compressed any further for it to be an issue? That side of the suspension, ie, LCA/Spindle/UCA, does not have any movement relative to the wheel other than the rotation of the spindle after everything is aligned and torqued.
