Make a plan and stick with it. Think about what you are going to be using the car for street, auto-cross, full race. Buy a package that best fits your plan and budget . Mustang Steve's has a kit that uses late model Mustang brakes. As far as suspension just a couple that come to mind Griggs racing ,Ride-tech, Detroit speed, Maier racing, Street or track, Open track racing. Good luck and happy hunting.

As for websites, try the VMF, Vintage Mustang Forums, or StangFix.com. Opentracker, Dazecars, AJE racing, MustangstoFear, Classic Recreations, are just a few to get you started.

I just installed aje racing's kit kit on the front of my 67 mustang and I really like it. I put fonts brakes on the front and they work great. I chose those brakes because I can get replacement parts at any parts store. Good luck and keep us updated

I'm looking at Old Blue and loving the wheel/tire/brand combo. You have a couple of pics on your website with black five-spoke wheels on the car. The look is killer!. Trying to do the same to my 66 coupe but all the guides for wheel/tire combo are too generic. So can you give out the specs on those?
