I know, it was crazy. I think what helped this time was using a ratchet strap on my transmission jack... it's the first time I tried that and it really made it easier to manipulate by holding the trans completely solid to the base!

Large Marge is an awesome car and a great project build. I'm really intrigued by the twin master cylinder setup for braking. I've run it through a brake calculator and was really impressed by how it decreases pedal effort compared to a tandem master cylinder while getting as close as possible to maximum braking effort at both ends of the car.

Did you put a little thread locker on the threaded adjustment for the bearing height, it will likely work itself up that threaded collar. Otherwise been thinking about doing this on my 65 Mustang with top loader the next time it comes out for any thing, the Tilton unit is by far better from an mechanical aspect, surprised the McCloud unit has no bracket to stop rotation...

great vid thx . quick question for Iam installing one now. when looking at the video when you show the throw out bearing already installed to the tranny and motor, is the face of the bearing riding on the clutch spring that i see when the clutch is engaged ? is there to be a slight gap between the face and the spring around .125 ? its hard to tell in your video , the face looks to be riding on the spring when the clutch is engaged. sorry for the long question , just trying to learn a bit more here. thx in advance

12:34 Are those coilovers designed to be mounted that way (upside down) or did you just do that since they didn't have clearance up top? I highly doubt it was done to minimize dirt on the shocks hafts, protect the rods from being hit by rocks, or lower the CG since I've only seen it done for those reasons in off-roading.

If you'll notice... all the stickers are correctly oriented on the shocks since they are designed to be mounted that way. Makes it easy to change settings.
