    What ya all think of this? :Do No: I decided to clean the underside and today was the first day I seen this thing. I am asuming that it has a purpose but what for? Who ever stuck it there must of been on drugs... Its that long piece of steel that is attached to the one bolt off of the arm...

    That looks to me like part of a ladder bar setup that probably used to be on the car.

    lol... slide in camper?... Pat, I just got a good used Centerforce dual off of ebay which just arrived the other day. The problem is since I was waiting on the clutch I have started a bunch of other projects that weren't planned but are now in progress. Its funny how you start one thing which ends up being a bunch of other things. Like I pulled the trans so I had to clean and paint the trans, cross member, my ford blue bell housing, connecting rods, drive shaft, plus whatever else that was ugly and needed touched up. Since all that started, I decided to put the headers in which was a breeze and ordered some Dynomax super turbo header mufflers for the system. I also went and got a Jeg's drive shaft loop that needs to get installed yet. With all that in progress, I pulled the dash since my tach was dead and ended up redoing the plastic and reworking a new tach into the system. I will be posting pics of it within the next day or so since I did some things different. With the dash apart, I couldn't stand the dust and dirt so that went into a major cleaning job. With all that not being enough, I stripped the trunk to get ready for a new paint job and relocation of the battery. I am also in the progress of cleaning the underside which I think is the worst of the projects. So... as you can see I've been a little busy...
