    I set up the attachments so that the seats can be set up in three different locations on the rail.

      Yeah, that can make a nice difference. I drilled extra front holes in my bench sliders since these Mustang seats have the flexibility of six rear mounting holes, and while they still ended up too tall, the ability to go a bit farther back did help.

      You know something I just remembered? I always disliked sitting in the passenger seat when my Colony Park was completely stock, because the manual slider just seemed to put the seat up too high! Didn't have that problem with the dual-power-seat '79 Squire.

        Very, very nice!!! If I ever get around to swapping engines, I am seriously considering building a set of long-tubes. Out of curiosity, how did you weld the collectors?

                  It dosent do wrll with heat about like most paint possibly a little better than most. Have it on engine parts with no issues. Some engine stuff intake and other aluminum parts are primered with it.

                  Once it is applied and drys you either sand it off as no solvent will remove it. It is a better version of POR paint. Brake fluid wont do much to it either. Typicaly when heavly coated with dirt road grime grease oil etc what dosent come off with soap can be removed with any solvent. I have sprayed don the trans with carb cleaner or brake clean as well as acitone thinners

                                Looks convenient ... but I don't see a swaybar in that picture?


                                Reminds me, I noticed today or yesterday that either a Trailblazer or Highlander or something similar had a Watt's link. Kind of surprising, compared to the days when wagons got no rear swaybar!
