Once again, Brian Stupski of Problem Child Kustoms put on his magic cape and sorcerer’s cap to pull off a neat-o T shirt for all of us “simpletons” to enjoy. When Brian has a crayon in his hands, watch out folks… it’s a kind of magic.
I can tell it’s almost time for Louisville… my arms are sliding around on my desk as I type. We will be leaving on Monday, August 2nd to set up the booth on Tuesday. If you’ve never seen our booth, here is a pretty current picture:
If you could see through the wall between the vendors area and the seminar rooms, you’d see us. We’re against the wall, between the two NSRA merchandise booths. Our booth number is 134.
The cool kids are going to the BMX race on Saturday night! Check out the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136972429658608&ref=ts
Dear Welder Series…
Are the http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/adjuster-studs/ available with a flat base, so it could be welded to a flat plate rather than a tube?
If not is there enough room a the base so it could grind flat without hitting the threads?
Thanks,
Raham
Dear Raham…
Raham, all of the adjuster studs are notched but there is plenty of shoulder so they could be ground flat without getting near the threads.
Dear Welder Series,
I have 2 questions on your Pro Street Rear 4 link kit.
What is the sidewall thickness of the link bars (is this the same for all of your 4 links?)
And I cannot locate any instructions on your site…what kind of mounting are the forward link brackets designed for? Bottom, side…sub frame, box?
Thanks,
Dear Dave,
Dave, the (WS)212470 kits have bars made from 1″ x .188 wall seamless tubing. The rear bars that have 5/8-18 threads are 1″ x .219 wall seamless.
The frame brackets are designed to mount to “stumps” coming off of the frame rails.
Dear Welder Series…
These plates 21362 for adapting Camaro rotors… what size and year rotors are intended to mount up? Is the spindle nut 21364-2 the proper spindle nut for a mustang ii setup and these brake calipers ?
The spindle nut kit, 21364-2, is used when the Camaro rotors are put on ’74-78 MII spindles. These nuts are slightly thinner than the stock Ford nut. This lets you install the cotter pin in the spindle.
The plates and the spindle nuts are included in the brake kit. The plates and the nuts alone will not give you everything required to do the brake swap.
I managed to get out of the booth a few times to walk around and take some pictures at this years Syracuse Nationals. I think I heard numbers in the 7200 range. I don’t mind at all that there were 4×4 trucks there – not the first things I ran out to see, but hey, lots of people are into them. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Love early Ford design – function and finesse.
If anyone knows what the key is for, please share.
I love early chrome trim! “hmmm… where else can we dress up this truck? How about the front of the bed! Brilliant!”
Part of the big & low fetish I find myself in.
Cool little torsion rod setup on a roadster in the Roundup.
The passenger side torsion arm is attached with a heim joint, which serves to keep the axle from moving left to right.
A simple way to dress up a bracket – weld some bar stock to the edges of the plate! Neat!
Cool transition between a tubular rear frame and rectangular side rails.
Although not our brackets, this is a great example of modifying the bracket to fit the frame.
Dear Welder Series… I have a 1950 Mercury I was looking at your crossmember for Mustang 2 set up. Will this work with your 11 inch disc brake conversion brackets? Do you have lower tubular control arms? I am also looking torun air bags in it. Will this work together? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Dear Horace… Horace, this is not an easy swap. The frame has to be modified in the area of the upper towers. If you are prepared to put a section (about 12″) of 2×4 tubing in your stock frame, the 56″ crossmember is the one to used. This will take the 11″ brake kit and air bags.
If we were WalMart, we would have just completed a series of meetings and discussions resulting in the procedure to “think” about changing the price of our frame curves.
But we’re not WalMart, so I just went in and changed the price. We found a more cost-effective way to produce these parts, so we’re passing the savings on. It’s just about that simple.
The 3 x 2 curves are now $39 instead of $48.
The 4 x 2 curves are now $44 instead of $48.
The 5 x 2 vertical curve is staying put at $48.

Pikesan, the grande poobah at www.myrideisme.com has a whack of really cool articles lately. I think you’d be especially interested in this one, and once you’re over there, hang out for a bit!
