So pondering........
My car has gone through a rough life. 18 year old self went through a parking lot at way greater than parking lot speed and folded the car at the passenger window (Mach 1 fastback).
I drove it until the engine died and parked it in the garage.
About 10 yrs passed and I started working on it. Frame shop got everything straight, but said it might do it again with the engine I was planning. So we put Chris Alston sub frame connectors in it. These are the cut the pan and weld them in units. They did this, but in doing it they blocked the front leaf spring bolts.
Sooooo I have original springs in the car. I plan on starting up again soon, selling my lighting to get funds.
Now you know why.......
So pondering. How are the new mustang IRS's connected to the unibody? Anyone heard of someone adapting to the 71-3 mustangs?
A while back I was looking at three link and moving the lower links inboard to the subframe connectors as they are 2x4 tubing.
As you can tell this will not be a concourse restoration, just me reliving high school hot rodding.....the car deserves it.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
