Got some 18" Boyd smoothie2s got the lower arms finished and the suspension put back in still need to build adjustable uppers. These pics show where it sits with the uppers hitting the inner sheetmetal. It will easily lay on a 24" tire and bigger if I trim the bag cup. With it layer out it will almost turn lock to lock. I also got the firewall cut since the 292 is longer and got it set in there

sold the wheels and buoght m2 suspension stuff. didnt like where the stock stuff was headed.



lifted up

and now it lays and turns past lock on a 27" tire

looks really cool. the mustang II setup is the way to go on these cars.

any plans for the rear yet?

Definitely keeping an eye on this build...so sick

for the rear im not sure. i think a 4 link but i have 2600# bags and i dont know if i want to put them over axle or on the lower bars. i will be swapping the axle for a 4wd s10 one.

cool project! i hope you're not planning on running these

Nice project, I am glad some people like old cars on here too. Trucks are cool but mixing it up makes it better.
