DO NOT DO IT! Doing so this quickly will activate this "payback is a b*tch" clause in the club bylaws that says you'll have to pay back all the time and labor donated by the club mumbers to the tune of $150 per hour times 3 if you sell the car too soon. Which would essentially give you about a buck, $2.98, for the car when all is said and done.

Don't sell!

you will kick yourself........ It's a sedan delivery! Besides 17000 isn't enough

No worries.. I had a chance recently to get my old 72 Bronco back that I had 17 years into. But alas the previous owners beat it to hell so I passed.. I think this one will be here for a while, I won't make that same mistake again.. Besides I'm only into this one 5 years so far.

So my truck is back up for sale then, huh...

For now but I'm still shopping!

Speaking of shopping I managed to get my PS pump changed over. What a pain, I had to pull the radiator to get the bolts out. Then the brackets didn't work so I had to cut up and modify my existing march bracket. Thanks god for my friend Mitch who is a welding god. Mounted it up and viola.. Had to order a serpentine pulley because it came with a v belt one. Hopefully that will show so I can put the radiator and stuff back on. I hope the rest goes better and smoother than that..

Well we got most of the rack in. Just need to get a longer pressure hose, and a shorter serpentine belt. Obviously my application is not a stock falcon so this is why I had to get a couple of different parts, otherwise the Unisteer kit went in very well and I thought it was designed very well and I'm very happy with the install. I'll get the parts and drive it around and let y'all know how it performs..

Steve,

How much travel to you have on your front suspension before you hit the bump stops?

**doghows** · January 5th, 2014, 10:09 AM

In the back I have only installed the pinion snubber. But between the axle tube and where the bump should be is about 6". On the front I actually cut the bump off by about 1" and that gives me about 4-5" up there.
I'm going out for a long drive (for this car so far) and see how everything works. I think till I get my toe in set on the machine I don't want to go too far.
