      front suspension help needed

      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 crossmemberName:  front top2.jpg

      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.
