well the mc bar and export brace went on with no problem. got the shelby drop holes drilled out and soaked the inner fenders and then hit them with the power washer. then through some rustoleom paint on them. with the shelby drop the headers are now in the way so i have to shorten the bolts on the upper control arm. but look at the tie rods the new ones are so much longer! wtf?

Did you remember to go an inch down and 1/8 towards the rear on the shelby drop?

 

If not, can you correct that with adjustable strut rods Dodge?

What is the story with the tie rods? Are they the wrong ones? what year is that car eZ?

 

the car is a 64.5, yes i did go an inch down and an eigth back. i just used the template. had to massage the holes a bit because i only had up to an 1/2 bit

 

adjustable rods - no, those wouldn't correct the issue....which isn't there...its hard to tell from photos sometimes.

tie rods - those are the wrong tie rods, send em back. I bet you cna go down to Napa and buy the right ones, if not, NPD will have them.

 

are the inner and outer tie rods diff from i6 to v8?

 

those are the right tierods for a V8 you need to replace all of the steering from the pitman arm to the spindles on 64.5 to 66 cars

 

OH NO...

 

WELL NOW I HAVE THE INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS WITH THE ADJUSTMENT SLEEVES...THEY ARE JUST MUCH LONGER OUNCE CONNECTED.
