T Shirts!

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.

You can pick one up for only $10 in our web store… click here to have a peek.

Louisville

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:

Welder Series boothIf 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… adjuster studs

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.

Thanks for asking.

Dear Welder Series… pro street rear four link

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.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Dear Welder Series… MII brake kit

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 ?

Thank you

Dear Yogi…
These plates are used in our (WS)2136 brake kit, Yogi.  See http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/mustang-ii-brake-kit-for-camaro-rotors/ for info about the rotors and calipers used.  (The rotors are 82-87 Camaro or equivalent.)

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.

Thanks for asking.

1950 Olds Mustang II installed

Here are two pictures sent in by a customer who recently installed our 56″ coil-over Mustang II kit in his 1950 Oldsmobile.

Syracuse Nationals 2010 Pics

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!

Dear Welder Series… 1950 Merc Mustang II

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 to run 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.

We don’t have tubular arms right now.

Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

Frame Curve Price Drop

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.

Click here to check them out in our web store.  There is also a video showing how they go together.
