Re: steering wheel swap

Don't discount the Grant wheel. They have there place. Maybe not for your build. Have a look at the Labor of love. It has a lot to do with size, color and flow with what's already in the car. My two cents.

What is stock? I think I have lost touch with that reality.

Re: Labor of love

Learn something from my stupidity. This is an aftermarket power window setup. They are great if you are putting them in you Mazda, not for the tonnage, that is a T-bird window. So don’t even think about it. ./image-archive/i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm195/tbirddusty1/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-02/201502...

Re: Labor of love

The shock tower bracing has had several incarnations. With the TIG welder in my future, I will probably build something out of aluminum.

Re: Recommended air shocks for 63

You get a lot of bounce in the rear with airshocks. I am running shockwaves on all four corners. They will keep your rebound to a minimum. If you have the time and a welder (i used an old tombstone Lincoln), you can modify a four link for a galaxy or go the easy way and get an air over leaf kit.
