    41's are really narrow. I'd ditch the IFS and run a dropped axle. Messing with the fenders will make it look terrible.

    narrow the jag front end to the width of the stock Ford. better yet, junk the jag front end.
    its going to look very bad having your wheels sticking out even with the fenders.
     
  4. You can't just narrow these. Unless you find the right size rack to match the narrower front end, you'll have serious bump steer

    It has been done... and I can not advise you to do it again.

    I believe the car above was dropped over a complete newer car frame. But the 41 with a wider front end does not look good at all, unless you would widen the front fenders at the middle.

    thanks Rik, those were the exact pictures I was thinking of.

    another case of "just because you can, does not mean you should"
