We found a 8" rear from a 1965 Mustang. The spring perches are a little wider on the rear but we made it fit. I ordered a 1" lowering kit.



I installed a Rod & Custom front suspension in my 1968 Coupe and upgraded to Baer brakes so I used the original ones that came with the kit on the II.



The front fiberglass bumper was to wide and shaped wrong at the bottom



I cut and taped a piece of aluminum



Added three layers of fiberglass mat



Removed the aluminum



Still needs more work



When I'm finished the valance and bumper will be one piece.



I added 3 layers of fiberglass mat on each end and now all I have to do is fit the center piece and a lot of bodywork and I will have a one piece bumper and valance!!



Test fitting the one piece bumper and valance





I still have a little work to do to get it lined up to the fenders
