I aint got this picture thing down pat. Once I get some brakes on this thing, I can drive it.

Nice...Get them brakes on!

Darn nice looking car there. Is she race only?

Yea it is. A housing like this, would it have the big bearing ends? Im fixong to order some rear disk brakes.
Thanks

Whith a housing like that they will build it any wany you want...Nice, The housing ends on the earlier picture has the Big Torino style ends with the more rectangular shape and with the triangles on the top and bottom...But the only way to know for sure is to measure it all the brake/axle manufactures should have the measurement chart for reference.

I need to ask a question about something that I don't know anything about.
The axle bearings for my M9, do they suppose to fit flush or do they suppose to protrude some/
Thanks

Mine sticks out just a little I was told it was for keeping the bearing from walking in the housing my bearing is wider than the bearing cup on the housing by about 1/8''.

If you was running drum brakes the brake backing would take up some of the bearing that stick out I added a washer between the housing and thr retainer so mine only sticks out about a 1/16"

I got these disk brake brackets off of a 99 explorer and I need to know if a retainer has to be used with them. These brackets fit on the od of the bearing so I dont see how they suppose to hold the axles in.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

So far its looking good other than getting the rotors to work. I may have to buy new ones. I think they are 11.5 dia. Who would have some basics that has 5/8 stud holes?

Check with speedway motors for the rotors. I believe they have them.

The anti roll bar wasn't really hard other than having to craw under over and between bars to weld but I got it done. I believe it'll hold.l

Special wax make special things shine.

Looking good boss.

Thanks man. Once I run across some 31/2 inch weld pro stars and a 61/2 inch extended hood im gonna take a chill pill.
Thanks again

You going with the lexan mailbox?

Yea, im figuring on getting some 1/4'' lexan and build one. I think I can do it. I want it to where it will stay on the carb when the hood is removed. That will require building a bracket kit. Don't want to spend 250 for a setup. I can build a nice one for bout a 100 bucks.
