Just read this entire thread. Your teams attention to detail is fantastic. I am really looking forward to seeing this car completed.

Brian wanted to see how 275 x 18's fit so he borrowed these from another project car

This is the owners original 255 x 17's that are now to narrow and will be going on my Mustang II restomod under construction.

Sprayed a little epoxy to keep it from getting any surface rust

Brian is starting on the other side. Bolted on the stone guard and front valance to keep everything lined up.

The fenders were sanded to bare metal and epoxy primed

We did a little bodywork on the inside of the fenders and epoxy primed

Got time to flare my Mustang like that? But might want to go even wider....

We could do it but it would be about 6 months before we could get it in the shop.

I'll "store" it for you until Rusty is ready for it my friend! :innocent:

I have the second Rod & Custom rear suspension kit sold on my 1968 Coupe and it fit great. We can get the car real low if we want. The kit has been redesigned and it is a little harder to install and you cannot get it as low as my car.

The upper shock mount now has heim joints because I'm sure not all early Mustangs have the same distance between the frame rails. Tack welded in place

Upper control arm crossmember and rear end brackets tack welded in place

Installing the rear coilover shocks

Everything was installed according to the directions and this is the lowest it would go.

After talking to Rod & Custom they said to turn the lower shock mount over

This is the ride height now with no weight in the car

With weight in the car I think the ride height will be about right

Welded the rear valance in place

We wanted to do something different for the exhaust. We cut the exhaust outlets from a 1967 valance but had to make it a little larger to fit our tail pipes
