Default 68 mustang coupe

My car just got done over at Scott Moss's house. He finished up installing my suspension and roll cage and i couldnt ask for much more! Scotts been great help, and im glad he could get me set up so i can start throwing everything together on my car now! I've missed it everyday it was gone haha! Hope he doesnt get made for me posting pics before i grinded down and shaped up the shock towers, but this is the project section, and its still under construction haha! Plus his welds on the cross member and everything are pretty! Sorry the pictures are terrible, ill get some better ones and more in detail of the suspension here in a few days. We just unloaded it off the trailer and didnt have much time to mess around with it sadly. anyways specs are:

Mustang II cross member
Mustang II A Arms
SN95 spindles
Maximum motorsports MM3 custom bilstein struts with there coilover kit
front hypercoil spring rate 425
Maximum motorsports caster/camber plates
Rear suspension is out of 03-04 cobra (independant rear suspension)
MM's MM3 coilovers
rear hypercoil spring rate 700 (remember its IRS the road angle changes the spring rate in a sumed up way)
Maximum motorsports delrin bushings, tie rods, end links, etc soon to be installed probably during disassembly for paint, but thats sometime from now!

Scott used the upper shock towers from an 04 and fabbed the rest in. The rear shock towers he fabbed up completly from scratch. This came out really good and cant wait to keep trucking along to get this baby to the track to see how it works out. Should do just fine! (after some driving lessons/classes HAHA!) Ill post some better pics in detail of the suspension like i said here soon!

yes unfortunatly im young and am full blown into my mechanic career world. Doesnt leave much time for me to work on the car or much money . Take every second i can though. Hopefully here soon we will have a junior Stielow in the family. My little bros at KU going to engineering school hoping to land a job with one of the automotive companies out there
