Default Tubular front?

I'm trying to find information on how to and related information about putting tubular chassis up front.

I would like to cut off the front half of my mustang, get rid of the presses sheet metal and go tubular.

any information on where I can start, what to expect but more important, what kind of suspension does that leave me? custom fab?

May I ask what your handling goals are? Or, should I say, how are you going to use the car? Autocross? Road Course? Street? Drag?

If multiple uses ... what are your priorities?

This will help me & others to give you some worthy input.

As one of your options to consider, I offer a full line of tube frame suspensions & clips ... in both kits & individual components. I have 5 levels of front & rear suspensions for hardcore autocross & road course track cars. Some of my geometry & design services are listed in the catalog as well.

For the catalog, go HERE and click on the button that says "Read More". The PDF Catalog download link is at the bottom of the page.

Let me know if I can be of service.

Wow Ron the new catalog is totally boss !
Some of the prices seem friendlier and I love how you give the option of buying what you need and what you don't, with explanations for everything.

Usually when I look at other companies websites I'm left with more questions than answers and am not always serious enough to call and waste someone's time and of course the worst is the non printed prices where you have no idea what the baseline is.

I hope your business does well because your approach is the best I've seen. And you're actually using hardcore good parts instead of all the OEM and fairy stuff you see on a lot of other options.

Thanks Vince. The goal is to provide DIY car builder with fab skills & professional shops access to pro race level parts & tech services. So whether they're building their own track car, or building one for a customer, they can get want they need.

Take care !
