newbe here - using a Mustang II on a '65 Fairlane. I got the cross member tacked together and threw on the control arms - which are 5/8" shorter than stock - and there is no room for the coil-overs when I get 1-2 degrees of neg camber. If I go back to the normal control arms, my track gets about 3" wider than original. Do I put a 1/2- pipe into the frame rail and reinforce accordingly?? If I increase the width of the distance on the crossmember90355 it is my understanding this messes up the steering of the rack?? View is looking down.

What are the track widths? Stock, new? The OE MII is 56 1/2". We make our early Mustang 65-72 iFs kits at 58 1/2", and run 9" wheel in stock fenders.

OEM was 56.5" and 58.5" now. I'm 30" to outside of frame rails/27.75" clear. LCA holes at 21.75" c.c. I have turning clearance - plan on throwing fender on to check clearance there and want to check vertical movement of the CA's, but spring clearance doesn't look right. I can take out a small section and use some tubing for clearance, but want to make sure I'm right first.
