    Shock mount mod for '65-'66 cars with Koni's

    The question I get asked the most at shows is what the spacers on the shocks are for? Not, how did you get that Cleveland in there? or any question about racing. So I made this: It will get ground down smooth on the outside and painted black, should look stock at first glance. I'll have...

    Front brake coolers for early Mustangs....................with Granada discs.

    One of the tech. things they ask at the track is to tape off the headlights. Well if I can't use 'em for lights, why not use 'em for brake coolers. I looked around and most of the cars at the track had the R model front end, I don't see a lot of air going to the brakes with this set up. Cheap...

    Rear brake line mod again

    I found that on a Versilles disc brake rear end there are three flex lines and they cost a lot. I also found that Mustangs Plus had adapted a 70's Mustang front brake line to the Versilles caliper, much cheaper. They ran it down the rear end to a third line going to the chassis. I thought if...

    Making room for bigger front tires

    Two things get in the way of big front tires. The fender and the shock tower outer brace. The fender can be worked to fit a larger tire and so can the shock tower brace. On a track car with a lot of neg. camber the shock tower brace can get in the way. I found that if I made a cut...
