LIL Betty II my 71 Maverick

I bought the car as a rolling chassis for $2500.00.

Then I purchased a Rod and Custom Mustang II front conversion with 2 inch drop spindles.

Now that the front has the right stance now back to Savage Performance to get the back right. Had a custom 4 link designed for the back with a 9 inch rear end and 96 Mustang disc brakes.

Grafted a 1968 Shelby GT500 tail light panel into the back. With a 69 Mach 1 hood scoop with functional turn signal indicators that will work.

Power comes from a 351W with an Ford X303 cam and a Trick Flow upper end. Controlling the motor is a 92 mustang CPU using Ford motorsports hot rod wiring harness. Going thru a T-56 transmission. Using a American Power Trains Hydraulic clutch master cylinder and throw out bearing.

Brakes will be controlled by a Rod and Custom Power brake booster with a Wilwood master cylinder. Went to painless for my wiring needs and Ididit for my steering column. New 19 gallon gas tank and installing an in tank fuel pump to feed the motor.
Rims are from American racing I have 17X7 with 225r55/17 in front and 17X9 with 275r45/17 in back.
when I get more done I'll post more.

 

...can you tell us more about the...custom 4 link?

 

go on.......................tell us more.........................dont be stingy .............................tell us everything .....................I see lots of good stuff happening I thought WOW $2500 for a rolling shell BUT I can see how just about perfec tthe body is so I guess its a trade off more money no rust or dents even a decent looking original paint job or LOTS rust and less money

 

Lower control arm comes out from the front spring perch to axle.
Two cross members where welded in to tie the upper control arms to and the aft one to mount the adjustable coil over to
Here are the 4 control arms Being painted. They have the adjustable ends on both ends and on all 4 control arms.
Here you can see how it is tied to the 9 inch axle.
Here is how the Shocks are mounted.
Here is what it looks like in the car.
