I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me

[@zacharyalonzo6164]

@Brysen Dash instablaster ;)

[@JustNews351]

you got to appreciate the USA build quality and spirit while watching this series :)

[@grizzly9960]

Did all the 90's car shows jump around like this? No wonder I developed ADD over the years.

[@01Z06guy]

They say there was nothing you could do to improve the suspension in the old days, then brag about the geometry change they made. The only geometry change made was lowering the upper control arm mounting holes, which is the exact same change Shelby made to the GT350 in 1965.

[@hualni]

You could have installed a baffle into the exhaust line that can be opened and shut with a switch or button. That would be a welcomed upgrade on that car.

[@stephenpabon]

What's the part number for the kit ?

[@car-man]

Good!

[@josephlacy7131]

Take the two upper control arm bolts loos knock them through springs and all fall away

[@adamspitfire]

isnt the T5 the same transmission that the L98 350 blew up in the 87 camaro

[@einar8019]

you know all season means worse at everything

[@kmoss9521]

Damn I wish I had some money. I got a 1970 mustang that needs that suspension set up.

[@gabrielrobles6799]

and I want the full suspension for my 1966 mustang thanks

[@1965ShelbyStang]

Granada upgrade for the win.

[@heathlamping6528]

good thing its still spinning 2200 rpm at 70, it wont drone and its still in the power band so mpg will still be good

[@carsnest8511]

I also have a big block powered El-Camino. Doesn't run though

[@wakjob961]

Would've been a good time to do the "Shelby/Arning Drop" on those upper A-arms. Down 1" & back 1/8"...makes a world of handling difference.

[@Finance-Food-and-Freetime]

Isn’t that what the kit has where he drills new holes?

[@joshuafurlong6923]

I'm an Aussie so it's a Ute

[@carsnest8511]

The El-Co is the original. And anyone who made one discontinued. Except for other countries like you with the FPV Ute.

[@joshuafurlong6923]

@@carsnest8511 yeah and so nothing to do with a name like I said in an Aussie we call the utes didn't need the history lesson

[@gabrielrobles6799]

hello good evening excuse me my name is gabriel robles and i have mustangs from 1965,66,67,70,73. and I would like to buy that suspension that they announce in the video as I can do greetings

[@waylonthompson1149]

Nicee

[@RedbadvanRijn-ft3vv]

Not whasting brake flued. Just push your brake pedal an inch. If your master cylinder in in good condition,it wil not leak flued,with the brake lines out of the brake cylinders.

[@ThePaulv12]

Thank god for tmmplts.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

I think there's a newer kit that eliminates those radius arms.

[@MrTG008]

9:30 no rubber bushings between the shock absorber and the Struttower? Bad for a roadworthy car. Otherwise great. Greetings from Germany

[@Mike-sh2dg]

My 65 is the same, no bushing on the top just the bottom.

[@gizmothewytchdoktor1049]

all good save for the 17 inch wheels.i would have to pass on those.

[@alexcorona]

Gizmo Thewytchdoktor 17 look good on lowered cars, that one is still at stock height so they look bad.

[@LunchBXcrue]

My father just bought a nice bright orange and black 2016 Ram 1500 and I would love to give it some upgrades for him!

[@alexcorona]

Bring me Peter pan the hell does this have to do with a muscle car show?

Every time I hear or see these companies “throwing stuff in the scrap bin” it breaks my heart

[@robbiejones5407]

Give me the original rims !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thecman26]

Excellent rack!

[@bmstylee]

We all like a nice looking rack.

[@edwardmyers1746]

@@bmstylee agreed, too bad there hard to get to sometimes.

[@seanweiss4647]

No way in hell should you save the cotter pin for reinstallation... Always replace

[@conrak1]

LOL, Y'all working on a '67 Mustang. Not a '66. Easy to spot all the tell-tale signs. :)

[@FE428Power]

I'll have to disagree about the camino beating a fairlane, especially one with a 428cj!

[@sean5comet]

That body kit looks awful

[@bilbobaggins4710]

Build that godang wall 😠

[@michaelmorell7451]

This Mustangs & the early nova is the worst suspension design Ford or GM. ever made. Both companies abandoned it.
