This weekends progress consisted of removing the rear and leaf springs ,removing the old front end frame rails and all ,started to clean up the body ill be repairing the drivers quater and replacing the passengers. I thought i could get away without mini tubbing the rear but 315`s are big tires so a mild mini tub will have to be done .....here are some pics.

Hey looks killer with 315`s on the front

Set at 7 inches to the ground this will probably be the ride height...

hung the front fenders on to see if the 315`s would clear...

Looks great. I see you figured out how to "remove" the sub-frame on a mustang!

With the pans and the clip cut off, did you brace the car anywhere?
