    When they do a front end alignment on our cars with a Mustang II front what do they use for specs? The Mustang II specs?

    Looks nice.

    Frank, I do suggest getting some STREET tires for that thing instead of all terraint walmart tires however. Otherwise looks good!

    Nah custom specs based on what you want out of the car.

    A good place to start would negative 0.5 camber
    Caster 3.5 positive
    Toe zero is your hero


    past that if you want it for road racing I would suggest
    up to 2 degrees negative camber
    5 degrees caster
    Toe 1/16 inch out

    A buddy of mine did the same to his Mustang and did some gutting of bumpers, inside of the car place some type of air bag on the right side of rearend and placed some different reaerend on it with HD axles I tell you that little 5.0 could get it. It does look like a piece of Art nice work.
