still available ??

thanks for the encouragement all, here in MN it's -15 today, and the garage has no heat ... so the project is on hold until it's at least mid 40's .... late march prolly ... but I'm excited to get back to it shortly ! Judge, I do have the door frames braced, but bolted to hinges and pin, you...

that is awesome ... looks like it was ... difficult... to get out, can you tell me what the thickness of that metal was ?? apparently, there is not a reproduction available for these, so I believe I'll be making my own. I did order up 2 from a '68 from Don, he did advise me they'll need to be...

That does look nice, i'll give 'em a shout... the extra $1000 may put it out of reach for me now though. does anyone know if a 'universal' 60" will work ??

ok, couple of questions on front suspension. I was leaning towards a 'new' Mustang II 'universal kit: http://www.fulltiltstreetrods.com/hub_to_hub.htm for $1400 ish but when I called the guy said they don't make them for 71-73 ?!? I'm *Assuming* that the universal 60" would work... or...

it always seems to come down to time or money (or both). my 1st round of $1000 in parts was a year ago, so 2k dosen't seem too bad. I also have a similar garage situation, I had to kick the wife out of her parking spot to take over. Nearly ended with me sleeping on the couch :) just noticed...

I'm thinking about these on CL: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/pts/4349529918.html (for when the link goes away, they are 'recaro 99-04 SVT seats' $500 seems like a good price for the pair with rails, but how much modification will I have to do ? Wifie says mine have too much mold...

... if that's what it's called. the piece between framerail, floor pan and inner fender: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WomUJ5epsOw/UzoFxFnVVNI/AAAAAAAAAU4/iB8Wd8Plmps/w560-h747-no/14+-+4...

Being in the same position, if you can do the mechanics, you can get yourself a decent welder, and do that yourself too. frame rails are not that expensive. but it is TIME CONSUMING. my build thread here...

Looks Very Nice, can you post more detail on the front end suspension, where you got the parts, why coil-over instead of stock rebuild? I'm looking to do the same thing, but I need frame rails and a crossmember, that complicates things even more... thanks, Dan

ok, I've taken everyone's advice, and made a chassis table. just got engine pulled and on the table today, tomorrow is clean/pressure wash and REALLY see what all I'll need to replace this winter. (see local mustang thread here ) tomorrow, finish mounting to table square everything up and see...

Nice great info on rockers, and seat platforms / lower supports, it the same thing i need to do on mine !

whitesoc, thanks for the link, that was very helpful. I believe that i'll do a door brace similar to what that guy had / did. paul, thanks for the advice, i think i'll go start measuring now ... :) to replace the rockers, (if i'm going to, and it looks like i will need to ...) how much more...

so, where do i brace, and with what i suppose is the important question, and yes, the rockers are rusted to the point where I literally cannot even see where they are supposed to be .. ?!? right now I've most of the vehicles weight on the front tires and 4x4 across the torque boxes, but since...

Hello all, replacing frame rail on my '73 convert, and have a few questions for the group. I'm replacing both rears, but I plan on doing them one at a time. Then the trunk floor, and both full floor plans. the questions start with how to get the frame rails out. this first pic is of the trunk...
