    Front Shocks

    I know we have talked about this before but I did a search and really it just boggled my mind. Getting ready to do front end work on my El C. Replace worn parts, steering gear from a SS. Nothing radical, no lowering, just safe and dependable. I like a gas shock and the ones i have are NAPA...

    Emergency Brake

    Still not happy with emergency brake after rear end swap. Working on it but not there. Works partially. Until I figure out the fix I think I will install a line lock. I know that when it is on and the car off it will have an electrical draw but as it will be used sparingly it is not an...

    Hurricane Michael

    We are in for some bad-a**ed weather here. Cat 4. Heavy flooding and high winds.. Not a matter of if I lose power but when. Local weather forecast is rain and wind gusts up to about 100mph. Just started to rain. We anticipate upwards of 10000 claims, so with Florence and STILL Irma my life...

    Handling

    Thinking down the road a little bit on my 1982 El C. I have decided to go the 373 9" rear end. I do not have a rear stabilizer bar and think it would be a good idea as well as neat, relatively cheap and actually may make car handle better. I have the factory style air shocks as I like a...

    Door panel

    Getting ready to do color change on interior door panels and the chrome like stripe is a bit shoddy. I see that they sell the replacement tape for this and as I am removing the panels to do a couple other things now would be the time to tackle that. Has anybody done this?

    Deciding on a rear end

    I have been doing some thinking on a rear gear and think I have decided to go a 3:73 posi. I currently have a 10 bolt in my El C and I feel it is the original tall gear. Putting in a 9" ford would be cool...but as I don't rag my stuff out I think it may be overkill and maybe over budget...
