1962 mercury comet , " the money pit"

more new progress pictures , i know it doesnt look like alot , but you wouldnt believe how long it takes to machine out 8 bronze bearings with a 2 thousands tolerance . its so worth it though , finished the front upper arms this weekend and just have to fab up the lower arms bag bracket .. crossing my fingers that it a roller by new years

I just cried. this is sweet!!

I LOVE this thing! One question though, with the bag bracket that attaches the bag to the cantilever arm being able to pivot like that what would keep the bag from just pushing up, instead of directing all the force sideways and following the arc of suspension travel.

i think you're wrong^

i think he means the uppers in the front are a little longer than the lowers. and they do look to be in the pics. im sure its to alleviate camber.
