[Boss 5.0]

With the addition of the M II front end this old crossmember was no longer needed. Without the front strut arms I decided to get rid of it. Big and ugly, it needed to go. But, I thought some good support was ultimately needed so I tabbed up this crossmember instead.






The front end I bought came from Rod & Custom Motorsports. They make M II front ends pretty much exclusively for late 60's and early 70's Fords. The one I ordered was all set up for my Maverick. It came with patch panels to fill in the shock towers, but I really didn't like the way they were looking. So I cut out the entire front end and tabbed up new fender wells.






Before final welding I rehung the nose to make sure everything was where it should be still….






I was then able to final weld, do body work and prime the front fender wells and firewall.
