1961 Healy build

[frankenstang]

I am in the planning stages for an Austin Healy (non-bugeye) We are considering suspension choices for the front and the rear. I kind of wanted to go with a narrowed 8.8 ford rear (cheaper) and some kind of 4 link. Not much room under the car. The frame rails run under the rear. We will sacrifice the back seat area to make room for the suspension. Throw some ideas my way. 3 link? parallel 4? triangulated 4 link? Narrowed Vette IRS? (WOW!) Or cut out the rear rails and go with a rear rail kit with the ladder bar/panhard bar? Like I said, the frame is the lowest part of the car.

We were thinking of using 15x10 Mini-lite wheels in the rear for the period look. i am also looking for front suspension options. All kinds of ways to do that. The FFR cars have an adapted Ford spindle with un-equal A arms.

Obviously the car needs to handle well. I really don't like the Mustang II stuff. It seems outdated.

Time to brainstorm here guys. And this is as much as a budget build as possible.
