Removed lowering springs, then installed drop spindles. Afterward, I realized that the new stance would not allow for enough camber and caster., though the front now sits perfectly over the tires. A test drive under acceleration sent the vehicle dangerously off to the right. Needless to say, I won't be driving it again until this gets remedied!
The cost of tubular, offset upper A arms gave me sticker shock, so I found some offset A arm shafts that will allow for the needed camber and caster.

Finally pulled the motor and trans. Next is cam and springs and sending headers off for blasting and paint. Doing this while it's 100 degrees outside is no fun.

Did you drop the K-member or were you just very meticulous in getting paint in all the spots you can see? I'm on the app so I may just be seeing things

I just removed the rotor and caliper along with a lot of tape and newspaper. Wire brushed everything and sprayed it. Came out pretty good and cost me less than $20.

swapped my taillights back to the LT1 versions again

Also applied black vinyl to the inside of the T-tops so the sun doesnt cook the insides as bad... (still need to get the windows tinted)

I'm in Texas so I know how hot the sun can get your car. My 2000 ss came with inserts for the t-tops for that very reason. I also need to tint the windows.




They just slide in.

Did the Ranger Clutch Fluid Change/Clean
http://www.rangeracceleration.com/Clutch_Care.html

Used one bottle of fluid to get it clear like a month or so ago...

...then did it again yesterday, (2) cycles to get it clear, maybe like 1/3-1/2 of a bottle of fluid to get it clear (pretty much clear the 1st time though).

So simple, quick, and easy. Cleans up the smoothness of pedal throws
