so whats the plans on the front suspension?

[vipercuda]

We are running a mustang II style front suspension with the motor set back for better weight distribution. AFCO will supply some double adjustable coilovers. The rear is a four link with AFCO shocks as well.

I think some folks just like to argue, which is fine with me. I find it entertaining at the least.

I have a 69 Vert that I will one day be doing a mild PT build on. My plans were to drive it a while and enjoy it while I build my shop. Now that it has electrical problems, I may be buying or renting an old body shop just outside the city limits to get started sooner.

I look to the cars that Streetking and Steve at HRBS have built as an inspiration for how I want to do my build. Those cars are my two favorite 69s of all time. Pure artwork. I would love to have something that wouldn’t be to shameful to post on the same pages as those cars one day.

When I start trying to plan my build, I see a cool part, do my research only to find that it’s available for Camaros, Firebirds and Novas. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good Mustang PT items out there, but there is a limited number of suppliers.

I think this trend is changing. Some companies are stepping up and offering their version of the latest widget. I love the competition. Gives me more options and more prices to choose from. I just wish companies like DSE would offer a few Mustang parts. ::Hint hint:: but I won’t hold my breath.

I think the previously stated opinions here pretty much sum it up:

1. Chevy is way ahead of the curve on PT parts and technology
2. Most Mustangs just get restored. (yawn)
3. Everyone wants only the Fastbacks.

Just my 2 Cents.
