The Jalopy Journal
That's between SoCal and their supplier, it has nothing to do with the customer. If I have a problem with my iPhone, I don't fly to the factory...
From a PM I received, they are aware of the thread and, as far as I have heard, intend to do nothing about it. Thats why I started the thread, to...
That is the entire purpose of this thread. One poster on the first page said the same happened to someone he knows, I am sure there are more out...
Everyone that has looked at it said they thought it was machine weld, not on target and too cold.
The housing is out, here are better pics..,
Thanks, I didn't think a 2800# car with, maybe, 270hp would be the culprit.
I would guess it would be similar to the coil over, with the leaves acting as a track link?
Fordyman pm'd me about this and it is extremely kind and generous. This is the type of shop owner you should be sending your business to. We...
It's easier to see in person, but there is clean unwelded bevel on the left side of the weld. Too cold or too hot I don't know, I was assuming too...
So-Cal
Like Like I said, it's not a warranty issue, it's negligence.
From speaking with them, their view is that it's a warranty issue and the part is out of warranty. It's an issue of negligence, not intentional,...
Very lucky, for more than just that.
I have tried to make that very clear, this housing does NOT have a Currie tag on it. When I picked this housing up in Pomona, I was told they...
My wife came home from work and said she smelled gear oil in the garage. I checked, found the puddle, and those pics were taken at that time. I...
This housing was not a Currie to the best of my knowledge. Currie usually has a tag welded to the housing.
Thanks for that, I'd hate to see anybody get hurt as a result of this (again, not knowing how many units are affected).
I did not think it was relevant, but to clarify, the car was built at home by me for my wife. There was some metalwork needed on the body that...
Yes, they have recourse with their vendor, as another pointed out, I have no contract with their vendor, only with So-Cal who sold me the housing....
That's exactly what I warned them about, others with the sane problem. This could have been much worse, I built this car for my wife and it...
This housing was constructed with all new parts. The weld definitely did not have any penetration, but Ford had nothing to do with it other than...
Look closely at the pics. Yes, the weld failed. There is approx. 3/4" of "weld" still holding it together at the top. It has broken/moved to...
So-Cal has a vendor (three that I am aware of) make the part to their spec and sell it from their catalog. That is not a middleman.
We are a dealer for So-Cal, the owner of our company spoke with the owner of So-Cal (parts division), after I got nowhere with the underling, and...
Hopefully, this is isolated. I am doubting that is the case, though, and posted so others can get this checked in the garage rather than finding...
So-Cal used Currie at one time, when this was made there were two possible local companies they used.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] These are pics of a So-Cal built 9" housing. The weld has no penetration. The housing is two years old and the car has been on...
I've been too busy driving it, and never posted a completed pic. Only Upholstery to go.[ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Here is mine. Not finished, but getting closer.
Blue Thunder and John Mummert make a single 4bbl for the Y.
