Thread: My NEW, custom Control Arms

  1. #1

    My NEW, custom Control Arms

    I just took delivery of the prototypes for my solid, billet aluminum control arms I had made. I can't tell you how happy I am with the quality of these. Made from solid blocks of billet aluminum, these control arms are Haas CNC machined to the exacting length of the stock arms and will bolt right in. Custom lathed poly bushings are exact fits to the holding brackets for both the upper and lowers. Another unique feature is the built-in grease fittings beneath each of the bushing points. These are anodized clear for a premium look.

    Next will be my custom WATTS link, made in the same process which should be completed by the 1st of June. Pics are in the Gallery.

    Those are almost too pretty to be stuck under the car where they can't be seen! Nice work.

    I already tried that, he's really good at this secret thing

    But if he tells you, and you come up here to get them (about 30-45 minutes from my house) let me know.

    But I agree with Ross..georigous! Nice and thick too...

    Come on, now. Todd may keep everyone wondering for awhile, but he will eventually let everyone in on his supplier, won't you Todd? Todd...?

    Ok...I found the place on my own.

    I'll wait 24 hours for a PM from Todd if he doesn't want this to happen and if he has a good reason (or money...or will let me drive his Marauder)...then I'll get to everyone else's PM's...the throngs waiting for an answer!!!

    Answers to some questions....

    No....there are PLENTY more...MUCH BIGGER "secret projects" other than this, Ross

    More info will be coming on these. I am NOT marketing these, I have no want to profit from the group here, I had these made and have put Logan/Metco in touch with one another to become sponsors of the site. Folks that I have delt with before here can tell you I don't take a cut or have any financial interest when I help others out. Please don't call Metco right now, folks. They are out for the next 2 weeks at major shows (one being Super Ford in St. Louis if any of you up there want to go try and meet the nice folks from Metco there). Also, you'll see a nice feature on Metco in this month's Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords magazine.

    Anyone who thinks they "just ordered from me"...uh...you haven't ordered anything from me....so I don't know what you're talking about.

    Final production of the arms will be over the next couple of weeks, with the install to take place May 26th on my car. After that...it's just pushing buttons on the CNC machine, and once Logan/Metco speak...there WILL be an "introductory offer" which will BLOW YOU AWAY, according to the folks at Metco.

    That's all I'm at liberty to say now...those of you coming to the Southern Marauders "Breakfast Club" next week will be able to examine these in person...as well as a couple other things...(OOOOPSS...did I just say that?)

    Damn! He came up with a good answer!

    Well if this deal will really "blow me away" I might make a trip down there and see if they can fashion a set of Marauder control arms for the Marquis...you NEVER KNOW! And hey...they're down the street, might as well try...
