Give Dave a call. He has several options. Keep an eye on my thread as I’m sure others will have some advice.
I bought the front end rebuild kit on EBay, the idler arm is not included so get that from carpenter. I believe that is where I got mine. I bought...
I’m not sure about the transmission bolt pattern. I yanked my drivetrain for a GM swap. It would be a cool first car for your boy. Good project...
I would take 50’s about now. Can’t do diddly squat outside in these temps. You go out there for 15 minutes and you want to come back in, shower...
What do you do when it’s 98 degrees outside and too hot to work on your project? Enjoy some ice cold watermelon with your best friend...lol
I’m open to trades for the skirts....I’m looking for vent windows, or vent window rubber. I need a rear view mirror, front grill...
Been a little tied up with some work issues. Then it turned so dang hot that I can’t even get the motivation to go out and work on it....I’ll get...
I’ve been off site for a while also. Was rolling pretty well on mine but kinda came to a halt. Work issues and the weather turning hot put a big...
Thanks Paul, we will see this weekend how much the front comes down. Hopefully the weather will be good for me as I’m working in my driveway until...
Used a piece of 2 x 2 square tube to fill in the cut out. Even took a little off the top of two of the bolts on top of the pump and a removed a...
Had to notch the oil pan for center link clearance. First attempt. Ended up using the pan that was on the motor. I have two more in case I need to...
Took it back as far as I could without hitting the pump. In fact it barely touched the bolts on the pump without a gasket. I even took a little...
First attempt. Ended up using the pan that was on the motor. I have two more in case I need to try again. But I cut the notch as high and far back...
Can anyone tell me if this would work to convert my wiper motor ? I don’t want to spend 250 bucks on a 12v wiper motor if I don’t have to. I am...
Coming along pretty good considering a few set backs. Not bad progress for a little less than a month.
Back on all 4’s again. Pushed it out onto the street so I could see how it looks on level ground. Good thing I went with the 3 inch blocks in the...
Ford Explorer rear end is in and assembled the brakes. Still need to run lines but wanted to get everything roughly installed so I could see if I...
Started this morning putting the Ford Explorer 8.8 rear end in that has been narrowed 3inches. My spring perches had a little bigger hole than the...
Ordered and received some new wheels for the rear to fit the larger center hub on the axle. Much to my surprise, now my moon hub caps do not fit...
Thanks.....exactly what I need
That definitely looks like what I had I had in mind......except I wasn’t thinking when I was saying make them out of metal and tack weld them to...
Probably will be the way I will go, so many people feel that the studs/lugs are all that is needed. I really just didn’t know how important the...
What I was thinking about when I said a spacer. Was not a full wheel spacer, more so a ring to fit around the center hub of the axle only. Just to...
