Not bored by any means..........scared would be a more accurate description.

Yes I would say it is time for some bushings and rubber pieces
They are older than most on this forum.. kinda like some very
low mileage Panteras that have much of the car just waiting
to fall apart but some investor type spends big bucks because
of the Odometer readings...

Scott that is a damn fine car you have there!!!

I had stock control arms first and I was about an inch lower about 23 inches. Then I switched to SPC upper and lower and it went down another inch because the lower had a dropped pocket.

I think Global West has a 1" drop spring.

Here's mine with stock UCA/LCA and 2" drop Hotchkis. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...0881559486.jpg

My buddy Harry who worked with Herb Adams
Told me they would slope the spacers on the subframe
Medium at the back, smaller in the middle and none
Up front. Frame stayed the same so no header issues
but everything else is lowered

Thankfully I enjoy shop time, but I wouldn't exactly call the last couple of days fun.......

Smoothed all the edges on the upper and lower control arms.

Anti-roll bar link holes were elongated on both arms, so a quick fix ensued.

There was also this small gouge in the area of what I consider the weak link of the OEM lower arm, this could be a 'stress riser' which could magnify the chances of stressed failure.

2 hours of media blasting later I still don't have a paintable surface.

:bang:

I see you have the much needed Greg Weld bushing spacer adapter.

Did you make one for the upper arm yet?

LOL.......you don't miss much Hawkeye! :lol:

Greg Weld......Global West......similar, only much much different.

I'll concoct something for the uppers. :thumbsup:

1 5/8 tubing with a 1" slot cut into it (for cross shaft to fit into) and fits between the arm opening.

Out of curiosity, what was your method for fixing your stress riser?:popcorn2:
