Doing a few upgrades to my 69 Mach

[jgreene70]

Started to do some upgrades to the 69 as time allows. First step is almost done. Doing the car in phases as I scratch up $$ to upgrade things.




*Street or Track front suspension pack
*While I had it opened up I went ahead and welded in the Boss mod plates to hopefully strengthen the shock towers and the 1" A-arm drop. * 3 of the 4 Eccentric brackets were Toast. Below is all that was left of the Passenger side rear.
*Rays crossmember

Cool build! Are you gonna run Shaun's 3 link?

[jgreene70]

Eventually I'd like to work toward his 3 link. For now I'm going to run 4.5 leafs with 1" drop til more funds free up. Funds are my limiting factor. Lol

Awesome looking car! Can you provide any info on the new wheels you are going to run and whether the car is mini-tubbed or not?

[BlackMachOne]

Awesome upgrades! Car's going to look good with the new wheels

[jgreene70]

The wheels are cheap ones until I can afford some good ones in next year or so. XXR 527d 20mm offset 9" front and 10.5 in rear. Car is not mini tubbed, front fenders have been rolled. Will require spacers. I have a set of .590 on order. Will know more about it once I get my welds sold and can get the tires on order. I have some 1" but it put the fronts too far outboard.

Subscribed. Not enough guys are doing these up the way they should.

[jgreene70]

Thank you!! I also installed their Billet Export brace.

My list over the next year or so as I can afford:

TR3560 swap
AFR 195 or 205 head upgrade
Borgeson P.S.
S&T rear brakes.

After those I may try the S&T rear Watts link with this 4.5 leaf rears. And may eventually move to their coil overs.

The .590 spacers worked!. Tires I went with the Hankook Evo 12 255/35-18 front, 285/35-18 rear.
