Mav1970's Insane 69.5 Street Project

Because no one would post pics the only one who preached it was Dave(ratio411), but he rarely comes on the board now.

 

hey hey hey !!!! you stole my car!! I have the exact lights and gas cap installed!!!

Test fitting UP!



Or DOWN




your call!

oh yea and the template trace before cutting... its real easy install

 

I never knew about any Mustang valance fitting until Tom Hackman posted his photo early this week

I'll look closer today, Gene. In the photo, my yellow jack stand is right under the frame rail so the cut out would be to the inside of that

 

Mounting therm down, like in your photo, the end curve of the Impala lights conforms to the end curve of the Maverick rear panel much better

If I was to steal your car, I would have at least, waited until you got it finished before taking it- - -this is a lot of work

 

That lower valance is a nice touch.

 

That's kinda what I thought.. Man that is gonna be a tight fit but well worth it. May have to put some smooth/round headed bolts in the shackles or something.. The lights look awsome by the way.

 

No rear leaf springs - Coil over 4 link with Watts Linkage :bananaman

Lots of room

 

I shoulda figured lol

 

Ya, It's one of the things that I didn't cut in half, rip apart or stick somewhere else- - - -YET

 

I had to go through 4 local NAPA stores before I found one that stocked the nuts but I finally picked up a bag of 23 nuts for 4.99

 

Who stole who's what???

I do like that valance! I'd like to know what's involved once you install it...

 

Sub Frame Connectors Are In

I got my subframe connectors built and trial fit tonight. I was originally going to build them out of 2 x 2 square tubing but that didn't work out even though my slot in the floor was cut for that size---I know, I should have waited.

I used 1 3/4 inch round tubing .090 wall and they fit nice and snug deep up inside the subframes almost to the firewall. Other than the slots in the rear floor you can see I had one other small slot to make further up front in the floor. Then I drilled 2 holes with my holesaw into the rear crossmember I built for my 4 link brackets. I ran the tubing up the subframes, reinstalled the crossmember and backed the tubing into the holes in the crossmember. I'm going to drill a series of holes in the subframes to plug weld the bars tight and then weld them solid to the rear crossmember.

 

Looks great...........

 

Thanks, everything fit together nice for a change

It was a good night

 

Looks good.
