    I have finally bit the bullet. Mustang II front end going in. I just did my first fit-up. So far I'm pretty happy with it. A bunch of street rodder buddies convinced me to go with the stock Mustang II. More pics and V8 conversion parts for sale soon.

    I got lucky when I bought my 1978 Mach 1, it already had Mustang II suspension. :rolleyes:

    Looks great Cleaver. (y)

    Did you cut that cradle out of a car or is it a kit. Looks pretty good to me.

    I can write a step by step in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint. Can I just attach it to a message to share? Sorry, I'm not able to make an website or anything.

    Yes Mavaholic - this is a crossmember cut out of a 76 Mustang II that was headed for the crusher.

    I bolted the rotors on today and set everything up to check the ride height. Looks pretty good. I previousy had 1 coil cut.

    Either method would work. I'm sure Stefan would allow space for it. We could download it as needed.

    The information you'd provide would be used by many for years to come I'm sure.

    C'mon. Leave your mark. ;)

    Why not just write a step by step in a post? Then you can just attach the pictures. If you don't want to use up your allocated disk space, I'm sure Stefan could help you out with the pics or you could email them to me and I could upload them to my site and you can link back to them here in your post. The guy that runs the webhost my site is on is one of my friends and my site will be up forever. :)
