John, I think thats a great idea.

I would have to try and make a weekend of it, and know well in advance when it was, but it really sounds like it would be fun!

It involves moving the upper control arm down an inch (I think) for better handling when cornering Kirk.
I`ve always wanted to do this on my 65 and my 67 but never got around to it. If we can do it once it warms up I`m all for it, I`ll trailer my 65.
Do you have the specs for the wheel alignment following this mod John?

I`m ready to go after my spring rush, usually in the later part of May thru beginning of June depending how this year`s work load goes.
I still have to make a cover for the front of my car trailer to keep the stones away from my 65.

That sounds excellent Morris, we can do both of them at the same time, practice on yours and then do it the right way on mine

Think if anything else you would like to do to yours and we can make it a 65 mustand day in the garage, I'll have the TV going, the beer fridge full and my own list of things. Then we can take them both out and tear up the city for a bit

I like this idea, should be be blast.
Afterwards you tear up the city and I`ll fallow along the best I can with my stock 289. I still remember all the big HP from last fall`s unforgettable ride!
