Update

Post by 61comet »

Just thought I would let everyone know where my car stands right now...

It finally made it's way into the garage, and is sitting on jackstands now. Waiting on Crites to send me the correct bushings so I can finish the leaf spring relocation, moving each one in 3 inches. As soon as that gets finished (one front side is tacked in, the other I will not even start until I get the correct frame bushings to finish the side I have started), the rear end is going to Denver to get 3 inches removed from the left tube. It is an 8.8" from an Explorer, with rear discs and 3.73 limited slip! Can't wait to get this going. While the rear end is in the shop getting shortened, I will fab up the subframe connectors and get those installed.

Also pulling motor and trans (fuel injected 5.0 and AOD) from an 88 Grand Marquis I picked up. Taking the entire wiring harness out as well so I have the fuse box, electric window wiring, etc. Should be fun!!
