    no feelings hurt, if I just wanted good jobs and pats on the back I would have asked my wife what she thought. lol

    Ok about the education though, if you are going to type something, read it over and make sure it makes sense. Im still going over what you typed and wow use the word you want not the one you type. this isnt an english cl*** but you didnt make sense and your grammar is ****.

    ok now what about a broken leg?

    Lack of experience is only reversed by mistakes and experience learned. If I get it done and it doesnt work, then so be it. But I tried. what more can I say i did.

    Thanks for the input, Im going to have to read it again to understand what word should have been used in the right sentence.

    i agree po po,your just trying to learn,and like i said it would be a simpler install with the mustang 2 but you want to use what you have,as far as that being a peice of ****,he is wrong,its been done 10000 times,like i said before it is a lot more work and does not look as clean as a mustang 2 but thats not your ?,you want advise on how to go about making yours work,when all the sheetmetal is bolted on and its on the ground nobody will know what is under it,my truck zips along at 120 no problem,maybe he should look at some pics

    guys i am going to bow out of this.i have personaly done at least 6 camaro clips on 55-57 and over 20 must 11 on 39 to 54 chevy cars and trucks, and have cleaned up more than one of these kinds of projects. only thing to be learned here is what not to do.

    Coopsdaddy- thank you, you said it exactly.

    I know that the mustang II is the easier way, but when you dont have the 2000 for that part then what do you do, you work with what you have and no matter what, you learn from what you do. Maybe next time I will save up and get the MII front end, but this time I did not. Old dirt tracker I wasnt trying to be a ****, but well as you said you have done 6 with a clip and they must have worked. i agree that the MII would be a better deal. Thats not what im asking advice for.

    Im asking for Traditional Hot Rodding advice, and if we all look at some of the coolest cars out there, they dont just have the easiest, bolt on equipment on them, they have complete custom pieces that people look and say WOW that guy got that to work and damn thats cool.

    I have set my sights on making this work and Im going to now.

    A little off topic but look at that ferrari/rambler that won the Ridler. That guy did some crazy stuff there and he made it work.

    I guess Ill just let this go on here, and when I get everything going after sandblasting then I will post progress pictures. Thanks for all the advice and info guys. Im not going to post again until I get a progress pic and ****** knuckles.
