renting a coil spring compressor tomorrow, taking shocks out, cutting the front coils, getting new front shocks and putting brakes and spindles in.

 

Be carefull with those springs when you compress them. There's a lot of energy stored in those!

 

i guess its good i didnt take them out today, things did not go my way today, lol

 

see anything wrong with my front passenger side shock?




New Spindles, backing plates and shocks

 

Hmm, the new parts look a lot better!

I got the KYBs on my car as well. Good choice!

 

Thank you, just hope my brother can get a price on tires and rims now then its drivable once i finish the brakes

 

Well good! It will be good to see it with them on. Be sure and take some pics!

Are you going to get the car painted?

 

will do! i am going to get it painted after i get a body kit IF i get one, but there are quite a few dents/fixes my body needs. And i was supposed to be getting a call from a painter a month or two ago but never called so gotta find someone else.

 

Well sounds good! I might get a paint job some day too.....

 

on which one?

 

I need to find shocks for lowered cars. My 67 is so low that when I jack it up, my coil actually starts to come off the UCA perch.

 

thats not good, i guess its a good thing my new shocks are just a little shorter.

 

On my 65. I'd like to paint it the orginal Rangoon Red it came in. Here's a link to a Mustang in that color.

wow, very nice color!

 

Yeah, they also call it "Resale Red." It's about the most popular red there is. Plus, I really think that would MAKE my car. I mean it looks good now, but if I had a fresh paint job in that red, then I would really have something special.

The problem is I want a four stage paint job where they take the car all the way down to bare metal, and that costs! Doh!

 

That would be awesome to do that! i dont even want to imagine how much that costs though, haha.

 

At least 5k, but a friend knows a guy over on the other side of town that he thinks might do it for less, but he can't get his phone number! He has to go out to his friend out in the shop here and get that number. lol, it's always something.

 

i would love to have that done but no way ill ever afford that, haha

 

Yeah, I also need to get new sway bar links so it doesn't mess up. I'm about 1" away from hitting my frame rail with my sway bar. It needs to be lowered down again.

 

how much did you lower it?
