if you search 1962 thunderbird exhaust it comes up. I am having alot of ground clearance issues though on my lowered bird

225/35/20 in the rear with a 20x8 rim and 4.5" backspace clears no problem with a 3 inch drop 225/40/18 in the front with 18x8 rim and 4.5 backspace clears no prob with a 4" drop in the front. no rubbing and no scraping when going over speedbumps. No other mods besides cut springs and lowe...

anyone try these yet?

blasphemy....dont know though

I have done both ways. I have a hand pump bleeder that bleeds reverse from wheel cylinder up thought master cylinder and the traditional method.

VERY interesting!! price point seems reasonable for in a sea of unreasonable prices for our birds. Have you called them to verify?

So I am taking a very low budget/semi rat approach to the build. It will def be mid 60's kustom style with some modern approaches built in. While I am waiting on some rebuild I though I would share some things I have done. Nothing spectacular by any means. First off I have two sets of bumpers for th...

The tube was corroded. I am ok with replacing it with the modern one, just wanted to make sure I wasnt doing work I would have to undo.
