Wow, what an incredible job thanks so much for sharing this. I’m assuming the new dash pad was black before dying it. It’s just beautiful. You’ve certainly motivated me to follow your example this winter.

I have an OEM 1/2” rear sway bar I took off my 1973 convertible. I saved it for what I don’t know. I upgraded both my front and rear sway bars with the bigger ADDCO bars which I’m very pleased with. I assume the 73 and 71 bars are the same but don’t know for certain. Here’s pictures of my...

Beautiful job on your steering wheel and console bezel. I have the same interior and would love to know where to get the dye you used.

Really nice car. Welcome to this great forum from southwest Michigan.

You guys are awesome. Thanks Secluff & Sheriff41 for the information! I’ve been reluctant to take the wires off my existing block because it’s heavily rusted on the post and expect it will crumble with more force. I just ordered the eBay part you identified and looking forward to finally...

I also bought this WCCC part a year ago and it has WSD marked on the arm. I think it stands for World Wide Suspension distributor? You can see it in the second picture if it helps. As a note, mine came with a grease fitting. Bob

No the bushings were the same length on the drag link end. I too saw that when installing. The new arm’s bushing could have been pressed in another 1/8 inch to where the bushing collar was closer to the idler arm. And I considered doing that but didn’t because I didn’t have a press and the...

I had to replace my idler arm like you about a year ago. I used this forum and purchased one from WCCC. It fit perfectly and really improved my steering. I too have a 73 vert with PS. I also replaced the frame fasteners with a set from NPD. Here’s a couple pictures of the WCCC part next to...

This is a fun thread. Thanks everyone. It’s taking me back and I’m enjoying playing your favorites. Here’s another one to consider if you’re in the mood for a fast foot thumper. https://genius.com/Judas-priest-youve-got-another-thing-comin-lyrics

Looks like everything is right to me. Since you’re not using the tool to keep your upper arm from fully extending your geometry looks different. It doesn’t have to be the tool to hold your upper arm. A short 2x4 can work. I found this first picture that shows how much higher your...

What a great story and amazing talent. Thanks for sharing this with us and enjoy that precious “nephew”. Love the drawing!

From your pictures it looks like it’s oriented right. Two things that could make it look like it won’t line up are: 1-the car is jacked up. Try looking at it with the weight of car on the axle. 2-since the bushings are totally gone there’s nothing to help hold it right. It should look a lot...

Wow that’s an incredibly loud sound and on such a great looking car. Darn it! I appreciate your short video and am anxious to hear what you end up doing to completely eliminate it. I’ve attached a couple pictures of what you should have. On these pictures the links are not yet tightened up...

Fantastic information! Thanks for sharing your pictures and experience. I had no idea this could even be a potential problem if not for you guys.

Thanks Slanglover for directing me to the “conversation” feature. I really didn’t know for sure what it was for. Also I appreciate your comments on your spring height. During my suspension upgrade project I referred to your posts a lot for advice. You have a beautiful car! Thanks

Wow I’m thrilled that I didn’t throw these out with three of you guys wanting them. Now I need to learn how to close this deal since I’ve never done this here before. Vintage man, I checked USPS and think we’re looking between $40 to 49. Not sure until I take it to my post office. If...

I have two new Eaton Detroit Springs that I purchased for my 73 convertible two years ago. I finally got around to my total suspension upgrade recently and I didn't like the ride height. It was too low. So I cleaned up my old springs and reinstalled and am now totally happy with all my...

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I’m out of town. The only picture I have of inside is this. It’s before I restored my front end so a little rusty. Can’t see the slot but can see the lower spot weld better. Hope this helps. If you want when I get home I can try to get a better picture...

Don’t know if this will help but wanted to share a picture of my box for reference. It looks like it’s just spot welded in three spots. Sorry it’s painted and hard to make out but looks like two spot welds above the slot and one below the slot on the box.
