Richard.

more time then money right now.. need to find plans on lower coilover control arms and make a set (cant afford new or even used).. i did find 9" 5bolt rotors to use so i can bolt my torque thrusts on.. still need the rear axle resplined, then push it out..

I am removing the shock towers from my 66 Comet. I am using tubular lower control arms from Lou Fegers racing. The lower arm with ball joint was 70.00 bucks. It has a shock mount on top and a stud out of the bottom for my strut rod. If you want to e-mail me I can send you a photo. I believe he can order whatever length arm you are looking for.Jim

i will email you, thanx

It's not only cheaper but you will learn more as you go along and when it's done you'll have the pride of having done it all yourself.

I hear Alexander Keith's is a good medicine for pnuemonia.

needing control arms now, so its on hold for abit.. when im better i will tackle finish the welding and clean the rack,spindles,frame, and get ready to bolt everything on and be able to push the car outside.

these are the ones I used for the lowers
takes a 3/4 heim
all I did was drill out the lower mount for a 3/4 bolt
weld 2 washers on where the stock adjustment slot was as the heim gives all the adjustment you will need
