    Welded crossmember?

    I'm trying to remove my transmission and it looks like someone welded in the crossmember. Was this pretty common? If I cut out the welds, afterward during the install, will I be able to align everything pretty easy and weld myself, or should I take it to a shop? I'd appreciate any info.

    removing driveshaft: how to????

    Hi guys, I have a 67 mustang with a c4. I'm trying to remove the driveshaft and am about ready to saw the damn thing off. I've removed the ubolts. The shop manual says I simply slide the drive shaft forward, drop it, and pull it back. This all makes sense in my head but I push the shaft...

    WARNING: Not for the faint hearted...

    Well if it makes you feel better. A about a year ago I rebuilt my power steering control valve and in my happy frenzy I forgot to torque the drivers side wheel. Needless to say, having your wheel fly off on the freeway is not fun. Luckily I was able to slow down to about 30mph before it...

    Driving still feels unsafe.

    Thanks for all the replies. I rebuilt my power steering valve about a year ago so i don't think thats the problem. I also took a look at it yesterday and when i turn the wheel in the "free play" zone the pitman arm does not move. I don't know what that means but i'll try and do the...

    Driving still feels unsafe.

    So far i've replaced Rear Supsension Brakes Front Suspension But when I take the car on the highway I still don't have enough control of the steering. The freeplay in the steering wheel is too much and I definately don't feel comfy on those fast and tight turns. Basically the steering...

    New sway bar. What a difference!!

    I bought an 1 1/8 inch sway bar a few months back and just installed it today. As you can see it looks mean compared to my stock 5/8" bar. I read before about how much difference it made while cornering and didn't think it would affect me that much since I dont drive it too hard, but boy was...

    17's on my 67

    To tell you the truth I don't think i'm experienced enough to give the flex-a-forms a decent review. This is my first project car. I basically went from the stock (old) leaf springs to the composits. Yes its a big improvement but since i've never experienced what NEW 4/5 leaf springs feel...

    17's on my 67

    I put flex-a-form leafs in the back. I'm running the stock setup in the front. I haven't researched on what springs to get so i've been holding back from buying anything.

    17's on my 67

    Pic of 17's on my 67 This past weekend I got a set of 17x8 Torq thrust II's with 235/45 tires. I'm pretty happy with the setup. 16's might have been a little better but I had 16's on my car and they didn't clear the BAER setup. Anyway, let me know what you guys think. <br>
