Re: Front Coilover System

He was part of that one and then him and his dad went separate ways with business ideas.

I am going to be seeing how much of my shock tower I can get rid of as well since I am putting a 351 in and want the extra clearance. I am seeing how much I will be able to get rid of with his set up.

Re: Front Coilover System

I am going to do coilovers on the front of mine. I am getting mine from https://mikemaierinc.com/
I am actually bringing my car to him on friday the 6th to let him measure and see what all he has that will bolt up and what needs minor adjustments to get to fit.

Re: My stable of ongoing Comet projects

Where did you get the trunk floor pan? From a parts car or new ones? I have found falcon ones, but it says that they won't fit in the comet.

Re: pushbutton hoodpins
