PT Mustangs and Old Fords.

[fordsbyja]

I was reading the post about PT Mustangs and wanted to add my $.02.

Hopefully this will stay on track as the last thread started off good then went to ****.

I have a 64 Falcon I am working on. The biggest problem with Fords is the selection of aftermarket suspensions.

You have your basic MII but who wants to put 38 year old technology on their 40+ year old car? (The lower budget crowd I guess).

You next option is modifying the stock stuff and that is where I am. I still sucks after just not as bad as original. My 73 Pinto handles better so.... You can also spend a fortune on TCP or equivalent but it is still a modified stock design.

For those with big budgets you can get Griggs or some of the other custom setups but like I said they are big bucks and a lot of work.

Everybody and their dog makes Chevy front clips and they all bolt in. You can get spindles, different width A arms, big breaks, whatever you need and bolt it on. No wonder they are way ahead of the pack.

The craziest thing ever is that lately I have been having trouble buying parts. I ordered some 345-18's BFG's for the back and got 345-15's. That seemed to take a month to rectify and I never did get any tires. BTW stay away from TDPerformance.com. So then I tried to order a Griggs GR350 torque arm setup, talked to John and he said to email all the particulars and I never heard back. So then I bought a T56 from a guy in Vegas and UPS smashed it to crap breaking the bellhousing and yoke. I am currently trying to get that straightened out.
