Hi.Just more welding,welding,welding and yes more welding.The good news is the engine crossmember is rock solid.I also replaced the bottom of it do to the fact it was bent, smashed in and ugly.I  have never had one of these cars where it wasn't bent somehow.I used a piece of 1/8'' so now you...

Hi ,actually I am deciding what to do about adding a bar in between the towers on top.The Chassis Manual does show how and where to put one...........but on the 70 team cars,they don't have one.the 69 cars have the bar,in 70 they deleted it and went to what you would call an upper frame rail...

Hello,and once again thanks for the compliments.To the first question,yes this is going to be a full blown period Trans Am race car as close as I can build it, if it would have rolled out of Kar Kraft.But if I want to take it to go get an ice cream cone,I'm going too.A little backstory,this was...

Well........here's a little more.I did some math and reverse engineering of how to relocate the lower arms on a 69/70 and scaled it up to fit the dimensions of a 71 and found that the proper amount to move out the control arm bolts is 5/16'' from the center of the camber slot.Which in reality is...

Hello everyone.More to report,so far I have 14 hours in these things,start to finish.They are new Moog control arms.Stripped and rebuilt.They are boxed,welded in monoball housings and heim jointed swaybar end linked.Just have to now fit the monoball in the housing install the ball joint and...

Yes,they did.

Hello,just a quickie.Roller idler arm installed.The plate from the frame to the bottom is 1/8'' and the the 2 side braces are 3/8'',so it shouldn't bend or walk.I also filed the sides if the arm mount flat  so it has a nice fit to the side brackets.I'm most likely going to remove the stud in the...

Hello once again.I figured this was a worth look. I got in most of the rest of my front suspension.This stuff is from Opentracker.A roller idler arm,roller spring perches,tie rod adjusters, LCA boxing plates and on the bottom are the monoballs for the LCAs.The rest of the pics are 4 days of...

Me again.Who here has ever thought about adding the Trans Am shock tower braces to your car? It wasn't easy. Since nobody makes them like for 64 through 70,I went ahead and made a set.They are 1/8" and installed at a 45 degree angle from midway vertically on the factory internal brace to the top...

Here ya go................Its not that hard of a process. But it is very labor intensive. I started the cut at the cowl just above the hood hinge bolt and went straight to the rad support.Then cutting again from where I started gently angle the cut down till it was at the top of the shock...

Yes I have a few more pics I can put up.

Some nice cars you have there.I will be running a Boss 429. These are the only Mustangs that they are a bolt in.I like Clevelands a lot and I also have all the parts to build a Boss 302,But I want a Boss 429. As for the nose droop I wanted to do it.I think these cars need it anyway. The car...

Hi again,here is a couple more progress pics. Reworked and boxed Moog upper control arms,and installed rear springs.The front of the springs use a 5/8 mono ball and the rear use a sleeve with stock rubber bushings. The leafs are new from Eaton Detroit Spring.They built all of the KK Trans Am...

I am building a 71 Mach 1 into a Trans Am car.I'm building the car as if it have been built by Kar Kraft had Ford not canceled the program.I am however taking some creative liberties in doing so. The car is a 429cj,4 speed.Going to run 8" Minilites in front with 10s in the rear.Just installed...

Thank You!!!! ::thumb::

Hi,it has bin a while since I have posted.My Mach 1 project is now again front and center.I have a question.I installed new floor pans about 3 years ago and I can't find the paper with location of the e-brake cable bracket that attaches to the pass floor somewhere around the frame rail and the...

Hello all,I just read the new door thread and it still left me wondering how nice they are value/money.Both of my doors have had work done in the past and many,many layers of paint and have major issues on the bottoms,broken inner frames and rot with horrible body work at the 4 bottom...

Hello everyone. Before I pull the trigger at the end of this week and buy a set off of ebay.Does anybody have a set of 429 PI exhaust manifolds to sell?I am going for factory look and performance with 71 Mach1.Will be daily driven street car,no headers,headers suck. Chris

What did you use for filler between the roof and the quarter? Chris

Hello,it has been a while.Next week I will be driving to CJspony parts to get all of the sheet metal for my Mach1. I have a full pass quarter panel ordered.When I replace the panel what is the best product to fill in the joint between the roof and the quarter? Besides lead. Chris
