I have a 65 coupe and i just got a monte carlo bar... I was wondering how you guys installed it and if any one have pics of what it looks like? Any info. would be helpful....

Thanks

hammer it in then drilled the holes.

good luck, the one in the mach STILL doesnt fit right

we had to use a porta power to spread it a part, then beat the living hell out of it to get it in there, and its still not down all the way

 

Most people have to jack up the front enough where the tires are in the air and let it set like that couple hours maybe over night.

 

hey, off topic. gun, where did u get those export braces? i dont think ive seen those style before.

 

Hiya,

I have the curved style.
I have them mounted exactly like Gun. he mounted only 3 of the 4 holes on each side.
Reason for this is that the 3 mouted exist and the 4th that he left empty does not exist and needs to be drilled.
If the car is 64-66 you will have _less_ of a problem getting it in. I used a rubber mallet to convince the thing into place.
Some people only mount on hole on each side. Drive for a day and after a nights sleep mount the others.
As mentioned above, sometimes the car needs to get used to of not being able to cave in the shock towers anymore.

In the end ... it's easy.
I am with GunJam here. The 4th hole is not needed in my opinion. So no drilling required on 64-66 stangs.

Its not really an export brace its the factory setup that came with the car. I just painted it silver when I did my t5 swap because it looked better than the rusted / flat black that was on there. [&:]
