73 convertible ...rust colored
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, should I stick with my front -end and 'just' do a rebuild ? from Don:
http://www.ohiomustang.com/store/order_page.asp?itemid=2358
for $300 ish
I do/would still need a crossmember, the cheapest I can find is welders's series:
http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/category/mustang-ii-crossmember-kits/
still is a 'trim to fit', but it looks do able, for $300 ish
so $$ -wise it looks like $1400 / $600, but I don't want that to be the only consideration. if I go the complete kit, I get rack steering, disk brakes, and lose that trailing arm in the front (that's good ... right?)
I would end up needing to buy / make the shock tower covers, but since mine are shot anyway ...
So, I guess the questions are:
is MII front end better than ours / what are the differences ?
will the kit that works for 64-70 also work in ours ?
has anyone done a 60" universal ?
