There's a lot of frame rail to cut out here and I'm wondering if anyone has any input on my idea.
Here's the current frame set up, which is getting ditched.
And here's the side of it, where I need to make it work with the front end set up we have:
This is a crappy picture of what's getting installed. It's a Crown Victoria front end from a 2011 Police Interceptor.
The problem is, the Crown Vic lower control arm mounts way back from the "axle" centerline. 18 inches, to be exact. The Crown Vic frame rails are flat. The Ranchero's frame rails are not flat. So I need to make them flat to install this suspension on it. Which involves cutting the frame rails out pretty much to the firewall. Which is fine, I have enough tubing to do it.. but wondering if anyone has any advice on replacement design. I'm attaching a simplified idea of what I plan. Does this seem like a train wreck to anyone?
