Little T pics

Did the drop so I could nose around a little

Found some bad rear shocks


Can compress with your pinkie

That’s all the bad news so far

I did install the new cup holder


And the new seats I put in this fall






Some dirty engine shots









The furniture dolly

Nice cup holder...somebody should start a seperate thread on it, ask for ideas on design improvements.

Mike, You know if you drive the car with those seats you will most certianly aquire grievious injuries. Seriously are those the summit racing seats? I have often thought about them because of the price....

Did you have any trouble with the pesky speedo and tach cables?

I wish you would have dropped me a line, I would have been more than happy to provide a little assistance. I think I still have some Guiness left over from my drop.

The hard part was the looking for the wires
it had none

I will call you and Matt for the 3.2 if you bring the Guiness

Looking at your pics I see you dropped the engine and trans with the exhaust headers installed (as most people do). Do the headers get banged up at all when the engine is lowered down onto the furniture dolly?

To me it seems the SSI's would get crushed when lowering the engine down on something like a furniture dolly.
