Ok Phase 2 officially begins.

I got one spindle cut down and tacked up to test for fit. Tomorrow I will modify the second one and finish blowing apart the front suspension.

With stock spindles and 1.25" spacer the wheel will physically bolt up to the car, but they sick out past the fenders and the rim hits the control arm well before lock.


I bought a spare set of '68 spindles back in August for this swap. I already had a 3D model from the first go around, so I modified it until it would tuck inside the wheel.





Upper ball joint clearance


Tie Rod clearance


17x9's with 255/40-17's on a Falcon.


I mocked up the rear a couple weeks ago. It rubs the leaf and has minimal tub clearance.
