Building and installing new full length track bar Saturday

Post by landshark »

I plan on building and installing a new full length track bar for my 69 this Saturday, I want to ditch the axle riser and move the axle mount to the passenger knuckle area. I should have everything I need to get this done in one day and would love a bit of help if anyone is around. Happy to provide drinks and food for anyone even if you stand around and make fun of my little garage ;)

I plan on starting around 8am, if anyone has time or wants a break from their boring weekend let me know!

What are you running for a welder these days? Housings need some decent firepower.

I'd suggest preheating the housing. The tube thickness is probably at least 3/8". If you want to use my welder you're welcome to.
