    I've never had any problem with either holding alignment... Had a Heidt's on my roadster a number of years back. I ran over 30,000 trouble free miles with the car. Since I sold it, it has logged another 12,000 miles and still no problem. As for the power steering, don't bother. Save the room and $$$$ for something else..

    Thank you guys . Ireland nice pics . The new systems are clean looking and fender braces are a little easier then moding fenders . As for the room ev 1 is right less is good and at 50 i do want A/C and a compromise is easy.

    I would think that the new manual rack is alot easier then the old manual gear boxes i remember parking . The car being light and a sbf of choice for it ,weight should be at a minimum.

    Next would be tire's would like to run 15' rims but i dont like a low profile tire. Clearance issues when turning with this unit has to be researched . I want to fill the openings but not pack them .

    This is a 5.0L SB Ford with A/C (yep, in a roadster - but that's another story)
    15's on the front (Yokohamas)
    17's on the back (Dunlops - no Yokos of the size I wanted)

    The A/C in-dash is a Vintage Air Gen ll mini which fits tight and nicely, but is probably too small for a sedan

    Ire nice look tires fit well. I really like the stance up in the air just a bit . Well think im choosing the heidts the rod shop near by in Plainfield ILL will match price. I think just in case there's a prob ill be close to get it corrected . Ire thank you for the pics .

    I am one who can duplicate buy seeing some work of others. As with all i may do it a few times to get it right , just as long as it gets finished.
