What about the export brace? I'm running ridetech setup in the front also and wanted to put some kind of export brace back on.

I'm using the Total control full export brace. I made a custom shock tower plate that works with the mounting for the total control export brace but has the ridetech bolt pattern and the correct bore for the coil over shock mounting....it also works for the air system.

Very nice. I sure miss mine.

Thank You! I plan to keep this one as long as I live and would like to see it be passed down to my kids one day.

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm doing. The plates looked a bit different so that's why I asked. I had to make my own plates also because of the ridetech coilovers.

You bet! Great minds think alike.

After getting the car off the rotisserie and set on some stands I got it leveled and started preparing to get my ride tech suspension installed.

I made some 4 1/2" spacers to set a temporary ride height as suggested in the ride tech instructions to aid in the placement of the upper 4 link mounting tabs. My rear end housing didn't quite agree with the supplied mounting tabs but a quick call to ride tech got my issue squared away. They were quick to send me out a set of tabs that worked better for my particular rear end housing with friendly service and of course no charge. It was suggested that I start with the pinion angle set to 3 degrees and just tack the tabs in place for now. I wanted to make the car a roller for now and I am waiting for final welding of the tabs once I have my driveline in and I can double check the angles.

Hi. Your car is stunning and every mans dream. We are working on a 69 and having the same issues with the shock tower plates. We have ridetech coil overs and TCP export kit. Would you be able to tell me where you had those shock tower plates made? If I could call them and ask them to make a set exactly like yours then that would truly be a blessing. Your plates are EXACTLY what we need. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi. First time using the forum. I think I may have asked the question in the wrong place as it posted at the end. Your car is awesome. It’s done to perfection for sure. Those shock tower plates are awesome and exactly what we need... we have the ridetech coil overs and TCP export kit just like yours. Could you please let me know what company you used to cut/make those shock tower plates? I would love to call them and order an identical set for my 69. Thank you for the help.

No problem and thank you! I had a local machine shop make them for me. They have actually made a few sets for different cars over the years and we are actually having them make another set now. I can see if they would be interested in making and selling a set. The owner is a personal friend and he is making them for us as a favor.
