Were the rear wheel openings moved rearward to retain the quarter windows? Whats the rocker hieght front and rear and desired ride hieght?

The front is based off a Mustang II, Heidts made the front, The control arms are about 8.25" from the center of the ball joint to the center of the rod-end with adjustments both ways, 4 link rear, Speedway style front and rear swaybars Rocker height is about 3.75 behind the front wheel and about 4 in front of the rear tire. The quarter glass took a little work. But we got them to work perfect. We notched the tubs just a pinch and reworked the tracks slightly and it all worked out. It was nice to work that out while the tubs could still be removed. But the opening remain in the stock location. Travis do you still have the dually?

Glad you chimed in.... how about some specs on the front...?

Camber gain per inch?
Caster?
Instant center
Scrub?
RC?

Boy..... I didn't realize I could get in so much trouble on here. One mistake and everyone is on my butt!!!! And the bad thing is that I knew what it was. That is what happens with 14 employee, 10 projects, 3 kids and twins on the way. I finally think I may be loosing my mind. We do have some mustang II spindles on Ebay. I guess I could always say the damn chassis builders didn't give me a clue on what I got from them!!! SORRY it will not happen again.
