So, where are we at with everything? You had anytime to work on her?

 

lol ya i have. just havnt gotten the photos up.
I got the J.W. bellhousing yesterday, have that bolted to the trans, after work im gana try and get the flywheel on the crank, then i can think about putting the trans in the car.
Ihave the lower control arm brackets welded to the rearend, rear is kinda located were it is supposed to be, upper are attached to the rear,
I have to shave down the upper bushings cause they are to big and wont slide in the mounts.
Ill try and get photos up of everything going on later for ya

 

which bushings? the ones that connect to the tq boxes for the upper mounts? If so i had te same issue what it is-is that the tq boxes have been tightened so hard prior to this such as with different control arms or just over tightening. what you need to do is make a expander double threaded rod with 2 nuts on each side of the insides and something on one side such as another nut sort of like a lock nut, then you hold onto the side with the two nuts and twist the other one outside to reverse it out wards to expand, I used a washer on the side i was turning to give my self more surface contact.

 

shoot! i already cut the bushings down and put the control arms on before i came back on the forums
well i guess ill start wit ha few pics of the transmission with the bellhousing now attached. Just waiting on putting the flywheel on before i put the trans in!
and of course all of this stuff is the good ol sfi approved





Now some photos of the suspension.

 

next time ya run into an issue like that call me ive probably delt with it in someway already

I didn't realize you lived in St. Charles. I go to the ****in Q center twice a year for my firms continuous education. It's out in the middle of no where but there are some beautiful homes just east of the Q. If some of those houses were out here where I live, they would be worth eight figures.
