    I think you may need to adjust the toe a little bit, but the chop looks great! How much did you cut it? 2-3 inches?

    It's about 3in. and as far as the front end it's just sitting on the bump stops. I'm a little ways away from suspention work. Speaking of suspention has any body used the spindle kit from "Drop'em and Stop'em", I think the company is from socal?

    That company from what i herd is ok, but just ok. I would go with a fatman fab. set-up, they have almost everything you'll need. You look them up and see how you like it, or JAMCO.

    good luck

    Yeah, I was just making a little joke, I should have mentioned the picture. The quarters a nice touch, I really like them scooped.
    The car looks really solid, and the end result should be awesome.

    What are you thinking about using for power?
     
  10. Nice build up mate,iv'e allways wanted to chop mine but very unsure
    about the rear gl*** and the the flow of the roof.
    Any chance of some more pic's of your project.

    What a cool project! I'm eager to see it done. I have a Jamco tubular uppers and lowers with discs on my car and I love it. Great handeling! They have a bag setup for it as well as springs. It's well engineered and very easy to install with no cutting or welding... basic hand tools only.
    Again... really cool car!

    As far as power goes I'm gonna be running a 5.0 but diching all the fuel injection and running an old holley street dominator single plane manifold. My dad actually bought a wrecked mustang for the ****** and wiring harness for his 50 4 door ford, so I snached the motor and rear end. By the way is anyone looking for a 8.8 rear end?
