I've been restoring and modifying a 1966 Ford Mustang Restomod with engine, suspension, and brake upgrades, and new paint and interior.
I'm also fixing up a former-road-racer, supercharged 2001 Bullitt Mustang.
And my '57 Chevy Bel Air needs just about everything.
My blog chronicles my mods and repairs, road trips, car shows, and new stuff along the way!

Brace Yourself
I recently purchased and installed an export brace and a curved Monte Carlo bar (fits tall MSD distributor) to stiffen up the front suspension. Previously I had a chrome Shelby-style one-piece that was period correct, but a little flimsy (and too flashy). These new black tubular pieces are from Global West, and since I have many of their other suspension pieces on the car already, these new ones look good. I should say that since the six stock shock tower nuts and external tooth washers were too tall with this set up I bought some 5/16-24 cone lock-nuts to replace them and they fit great. I also bought 4 rubber washers to go between the fresh paint on the cowl and the back mounting area of the bar.
