Cool, welcome to the Nation.

djordan · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2014, 10:27:09 AM »

djordan · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2014, 10:48:57 AM »

thanks for the welcome,started this project w/measurements off the internet ,read a bunch of forums. I wasn't able to find or talk to anybody that knew anything about a mustang II front end so I went to building it.One reason why I posted pics was to get any positive or negative feedback so I don't get so far I have to back track. I fabricated the hats,cross member,airbag spacers,frame&shock mounts.Right now I'm working on the rear airbag & 4 link set up. At the top of the frame where the motor will be,its 12"rom the ground ,from the bottom of the cross member to the ground is 6",where the body will mount the frame will be 4" from the ground. The airbags for the back has 10" of travel

I'v got a mustang 11 front end on one project, and the rack on another, but that doesn't indicate any knowledge. As best as I can tell, your car looks nice so far.

starting the 4 link

djordan · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2014, 12:51:38 PM »

Thanks Large Time, I've got a lot of time in the front end,it took me and some help from friends about 3 weeks to build the front end w/ part of the frame

djordan · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2014, 08:31:04 PM »

Over the years Ive helped a good friend work on his house & hot rods this is what I got

hotwheels · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2014, 04:46:51 AM »

Hell yeah, that is bad ass.........

obama · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2014, 08:08:53 AM »

Nice , like the cross rams.

ratt71 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2014, 08:45:45 PM »

Everything looks awesome and as far as the mustang front I put 1 on my boys truck with manual rack and couldn't be happier. I can't give any help with the bags but its def cool! The only issue I've ever had with the stang steering was other rat rod owners at shows telling me that mines not a true rat because of it! We built the truck with what we had and we can also go to any local parts store and get most if not all parts to do any repair the same day!

djordan · « **Reply #22 on:** March 10, 2014, 07:30:47 AM »

Thanks, The way I look at it , I've done 100% of the work on my front end & frame , It may not be a true ratrod ,oh well ! I always thought the meaning of ratrod was to use your skills, fabricate, go to junk yards, trade w/friends, build as cheap as you can, instead of buying everything out of a catalog. As long as you love your ride, i wouldn't worry what other people think
