Albert,Was being coerced by a Dodge truck this morning to run them at a stop light. Pouring rain outside and all. I have all season tires, but umm, no thank you. It is scary as it is when it is dry out, lol.
Smart decision

I have that jack and hit it for that price also works great!

Holy mackerel! With those camber specs I hope it's a road race only car or she is gonna tear those inside shoulders apart on your tires bro! :Side note: the rear axle camber being more negative slightly explains the reason why an s197 will tend to steer hard to the right when doing a burnout or launch. More negative camber equals more traction.Well this:
Got installed on the car. Both sides got poly bushings. The big rear bushings got a groove turned in them and holes drilled in it. Drilled and tapped the outer sleeve for grease zerks. Fronts got grooves and holes in teh bushings but no grease zerks installed in the arm as I busted the drill bit.
For those looking to do the fronts and are buying replacement front control arms like I did. The Moog high end front LCA's utilize a smaller front bushing metal sleeve than what Ford does. This means you either need to burn the inner metal sleeve out of your stock control arms, or you need to provide your own front metal bushing... I did the latter because access to a machinist who works for peanuts and viable metal stock was available.
Car got aligned today:
-3.0º of camber
-0.01 total toe (read: Zero total toe)
+7.2º of caster on driver side, +7.8 on the passenger side...
Rear alignment, while not adjustable, hasn't changed any:
driver side camber is -0.3º, right side is straight up zero (most likely a pressure difference...), toe is -0.12º total toe (driver side is -0.14º, passenger is +0.02º). Thrust angle is -0.08º
The hunter alignment rack said no steer ahead.
Pretty glad about those alignment numbers although a little more negative camber wouldn't hurt.

so question for you all... don't flame me for the wrong section here, just as a disclaimer:
I haven't done anything to my mustang in about 8 months (except buy about $4500 in suspension and exterior parts) considering I bought it, drove for a few months and got deployed, storing it in my buddies hobby shop back home. Now finally, Sunday I will be heading home to see my baby
NOW FOR HOW IT PERTAINS TO TODAY..... lol
My old man called me and told he has the gas cap to his grandfather's 65 coupe
I want to somehow incorporate this into my car, but am unsure how, any ideas anyone?
refurbishing suggestions?
keep it gritty?
replace the rear emblem on my trunk with it?
open to any ideas really, I just want to build a generational gap bridge with family ties
if it is a shit idea all together let me know, I have thick skin
I think this would actually be a good discussion for the Chit Chat section. Or maybe the Pimpin' It section. Sounds like a cool idea either way.
