    Hey those are mine give them back...ok fine you can keep them this time but next time you need to give them back:biglaugh:

    Found out I didnt have one of the fittings on my hydraulic clutch tight enough and had a puddle of brake fluid under my car this morning. If it counts for anything its tight enough now.

    Picked up my ford 9in, need to get it shortened now.. Pulled off the exhaust, pulled the engine apart so it's ready to be taken out and sent to the machine shop, just waiting for the arrival of the hoist

    I got the front and back windshield put in and new roof rail weather stripping installed. I went ahead and put the old worn out quarter window seals back on until I get new seals.

    You may remember Jack Abranovich (his user name is actionrpm) from the Pittsburgh area that re-did that wild scaloped painted Maverick "El Camino" a while back. He rear halfed it, tubbed it and did the 4 link coil over build. He has done many of these swaps and I keep in touch with him from time to time. I asked him his suggestions on extended and compressed length on the shocks plus the spring rate. Jack suggested 250 pound springs in the rear. 200 would be tough with the PA road condutions and 150s are too light. I found a set of Heidts shocks/spring assemblies on Ebay early last week that fit those specs really close and re-emailed Jack since the seller was in Ohio. Jack said he bought a lot of parts from this seller so in 3 days I had my parts.
