So the 61 62 control arms will bolt right up and be correct for steering? I thought the spindals were different. I have regular and finned drums for the front. I think I'm going to go with the finned. Any advice on maybe going with some sort of factory disc off of a later Pontiac full size? Life is hard......... It's even harder if your stupid.
rick builds some power. good choice going with him. Between dad,my son and i we have 4 62 catalinas.Great cars.
Go with Scarbird for your front disk conversion. With the conversion kit you can buy over the counter brake parts.
scarebird on 2 of our cars worked out real well. Fabcraft for 4speed,rear, and some other big car parts.
62hotcat is right. If you need Pontiac 4 speed parts, rearend stuff, just give Brad a call at Fabcraft.
Yeah, I got the fabcraft catalog last fall, they got a lot of great parts. I was trying to keep it mid sixties era, that's why I was considering going with the finned drums. Life is hard......... It's even harder if your stupid.
I'm using radials. They are here at the shop already. I'm running all steel black wheels and 8:50x 15 M and H race masters on the back. Life is hard......... It's even harder if your stupid.
Black steelies give the early 60s pontiacs a mean nasty look. Here is my 62 sitting on black shoes. It is sitting 1" higher with new springs after this photo was taken.
That Catalina looks great. I love the black steelies look. Life is hard......... It's even harder if your stupid.
Moons are cool too. My uncle had a set on a 55 Chevy he built when I was a kid. I'm hoping to have the rear end out tommarow and Sunday morning I'm going to menards to get cinder blocks and 2 8 foot 4x4s to set the frame on to power wash, get down to bare steel and paint by next weekend. Life is hard......... It's even harder if your stupid.
I assembled a 421SD from parts for my 63 Catalina in 1968. Very few of my 389 parts worked on the SD engine. I was young and dumb but I got it done and drove across country. 100miles...10 gallons of gas at highway speeds.
