Looks awesome, I am about to start with my ridetech bolt in 4 link, how hard was the install? also how hard was getting the brackets welded on the rear end? Is it a stock width rear or did you shorten it?
It was a straight forward install. These old cars being assembled by hand gives a little bit of trouble from time to time with the cradle not seating into place like mine did. But with a couple of jacks and effort it slid right into place. The tabs weren't a big deal either. Just follow the instructions to a T and you will be fine. And the length on the rear end is stock with multi leaf perches made to order already welded up. I also went with the big ford ends for larger bearings and bolt in axles. If you want it narrowed I think they will build it to any lengths for no extra charge.
I called Matt and Kim at Matts Classic bow ties and they took care of me with everything.
Kind of a crappy pic but got the rear end all painted up and put back in the car. Gas tank will be next to go back in after a little touch up work I need to do after welding in the Ridetech cradle.
Got started on the A/C today as well not too far along with it just testing out the bracket I got from Detriot speed after I hacked it up a little...
Got a few more things to button up with the heater hoses and other misc. plumbing ..etc.. and apply the Hose Candy skins and should be done for first fire up of the motor.
Love the way the gen 5 consoles looks in these cars so I had to try one out..
Smitty,
You will be happy with the 5th Gen console!
I love mine!
Maybe swap out the plastic lid for a leather covered one??
I love the carbon fiber gauge housing too, Anvil part?
