      Looking at your project as a whole, it looks like you watched Lou on Musclecar build that Mustang.
      BTW, wish they'd finish it.

      Its pretty rusty alright,By the time I fit the frame I don't think there will be any rust left.I sure wouldn't want to do this to a prestine Mustang body,and I just couldn't let it get crushed.Lou's car is cool,I really busted his chops at RTTH about finishing it.Wish I had his budget though.Ron

      Set body down on frame,OSHA would not have been happy.What do you think about the ride height,it seems kinda high,but by the top of the tire to the body line,it should be correct compared to the other Mustangs I like the height on.Ron

      Looks to high to me. Maybe it's the oversize rims, they over power the car.

      Just found this thread, Ron this is one of the coolest projects I have seen in a long time. Love the direction you are going and the budget you set. You got some pretty awesome fab skills BTW. I also think the car is sitting a bit too high. Stance is everything.

      Thanks,I know these cars are never low enough for anyone on this board.But unlike my Camaro or Cuda,the tires are not tucked in behind the quarter panel,so the construction of the bulge or flare is a little different.I need to leave myself enough room to transition the metal back into the regular quarter,hopefully without it looking stupid.I lowered the car 1 1/2",I really don't think I can go much lower and get the metal formed,and still look cool.The bottom of the frame is 7" in rear and 6.5" in front What do you think.Ron

      Looks better now, tough to tell until those flares are built. Damn that body is rough. But this one cool ass project!

      I agree, looks better but needs the flares for the full effect.

      You should get Rustoleum for a sponsor. {See what happens when you don't protect your metal}

      honestly, this is one of the coolest projects i've seen on here. i LOVE how the almost destroyed body looks on the big wheels and super clean frame. i look forward to seeing how this progresses.

      I think the ride height is fine but it is going to take some MAJOR flair to cover the wheels. Gonna be hard to make a "wide body" smooth transition, just a old school flair may be the way to go.

      Is it sitting on the shocks, or do you have something in there to imitate them? If you've got the shocks and springs in there, I wouldn't sweat it till you get the motor and everything in it. That'll set that dude down some more.

      Been out of town,I will be dragging the frame back out of the car and back on to the frame table,no matter how I try to talk myself into it,its just not low enough.I won't be happy with it the way it is,should only be a couple hours work.Hoping to have it back in the car by this weekend.Ron

      Your car looks awesome! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

      Where did you get that frame for $400? Did you weld it up yourself, luck out in bidding, or does someone actually build them that nice that cheap?

      i am truly enjoying seeing someone doing this on a budget. all too often, i see guys just throwing money at stuff, whereas im stuck refurbishing the parts that others are scrapping and fabbing my own. i also enjoy the fact that you seem to have a streetrodder background, judging by the model A, the style in which you fabricated the chassis, and your lack of fear in dealing with severe rust. as far as that goes, i wish i had your courage so i could start on my model A....

      anyway, i dig it. keep it up. and if you could, educate guys like me that have read books about making our own chassis but have never actually done it or seen it in the process. share tips, tricks, methods of layout/mockup, build pictures, whatever will help a new guy out. i know a lot of us would do it if we knew how. or at least i would. especially to that 55 F100 down the road.....
