I screwed up. I took a measurement from the front of the quarter panel to the center of the wheel when I started my project but since I have removed the entire suspension I have lost the card I wrote that dimension on. Could anyone help me out and get that dimension off your car for me? I...

I left out "resto" for a reason. At this point there is little but the roof and front frame rails left original on the car. Anyways, I ordered my new rear suspension, everything but the coilovers that is, today. I got the competition engineering magnum 4 link kit, qa1 chrome moly rod ends xmr...

What is a fair price to get an 8.8 explorer rear end shortened? I am selling my versailles in favor of the better brakes of the 8.8 and I need to get it shortened. There is a shop across the street from my house that does this so I have to go there tomorrow to get a price on it. If any of you...

I am completely rebuilding my car and I am planning to completely disregard the stock mounting points on everything. I will move the engine and tranny back several inches to get better weight distribution as well as a more comfortable grip on the shifter. I realize that this will probably...

Well, I had a really good spring break, making more than enough money to pick up a competition engineering magnum 4 link kit ( http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CEE%2D2028&N=700+115&autoview=sku ) and some qs chrome moly rod ends with better than 40000 lb static...

I replaced the majority of my drivetrain already and will be replacing the transmission when i get rid of the 289 drivetrain. I have a stock 2 barrel 289, c4 with torque converter, drive shaft, and 8 inch drum rear. Everything worked fine when removed but I have upgraded and need the space. I...

Like my new rims? i they are 5 inch I know, crappy looking welds but it will be sheeted in so i don't really care. Pic from the front underside Pic from the back I'm an idiot, should have wore sleeves while welding I still haven't figured out how to downsize the images...

It was just supposed to be a versailles rear end swap into my 65 but my engine bay went from this: to this My engine turned into this And then finally, progressed back into this The engine should be back together completely this week, I ran out of rtv sealant last night and couldn't...

Has anyone done this swap, I like the style better and want to put 66 gauges and bezel in my 65. Will i run into any problems? thanks

Does anyone know how exactly they work? It seems to me that the rear end would be able to rotate too far and the pinion angle would constantly change. Is there some extra link or force that i am not considering that holds the rear end in place? Thanks

I am not going to replace the transmission yet but I want to do the modifications to the floor pan now as I am replacing it now. What did you guys do to the floorpans to modify them? Where did you add metal and how much? General descriptions are fine, Im not looking for anything too specific...

I am trying to decide what to do about a four link. I want to build my own setup because nothing really fits my specs that I have found but I cant find a chromemoly tube supplier. I have seen several kits with dom tubing. Is it ok to use the dom or should i keep looking for chrome moly? If...

Just kidding, I have big plans and I think i finally figured out this picture thing so here is what is going on in my latest project. I just got the frame welded together and in the car today. Those inner fender wells have a 2.5 inch strip on the edge to add plenty of...

I have heard of people swapping the outer wheel housings and stretching the quarters over them. I got new frame rails for christmas as well as about 4 new sets of jackstands. Yesterday I cut out the rear rails and all the trunk floor sheet metal and i will be putting the new rails in today (at...

I built a 9 inch versailles rear end a couple months ago with the intention of putting it in my 65. It has a rebuilt center section with 3.70 gears, trac loc and 28 spline axles. This thing is set up but I am going with a fourlink setup and with my minitub, I kind of want to narrow the rear a...

Who here has put a second set of headlights or highbeams or foglights behind the grille? I want something in the same size as the original headlights but I want to mount them in the radiator support behind the grille. I have seen it done and I liked the looks. If you have done it, what did...

I have been looking at the art morrison setup for a four link but I want to see what you guys think of it. Has anyone put on in their mustang? If anyone has any suggestions on other four link setups or pictures of theirs, please post them. I am not sure what coilover setup to go with yet...

Anyone ever have custom rear frame rails bent up? I have been having a heck of a time finding someone that will do it. It seems like the companies that have the capability to bend 2 by 3 tube want large orders only. Any recommendations? At this point I am contemplating putting some together...
