mustang II

Has anyone used the Fatman front end or the universal crossmember that Speedway sells made by Hiedts? I just can't offered the other alternatives. If anyone has another option I am all ears.
Thanks

Re: mustang II

Any reason you dont want to work with the front end in the truck now? Easy to upgrade and parts are easy to come by.

Re: mustang II

All the parts are similar, so your not saving any money. I did cost analysis for my 62 and after full build the new Porter built stuff is not much different in price. Still need upgrade brakes and column, joints and so on. By the way I opted on 13 inch brakes came in at 60lbs each side with spindles.
