      We did a little mock up with the Camaro wheels/tires, looks like the guys are gluttons for punishment. Fender flares are in our future

      The guys worked the front fenders a little to make enough tire clearance. We are using a ride height fixture that simulates full suspension compression in these pics.















      The guys will be tackling the mini-tub very soon.

      I like the scissorjack idea! I bet it was a lot easier than my bottle jack...

      Awesome. I have this rear kit (modded) almost finished and installed on my Maverick. I can wait to see how much more tire clearance I'll have and how well it performs.

      Awesome car! Nice to see a fellow 67 FB - what all was involved in re working the front fenders to fit the big front tires? I'm running 18x8's with 245/40/18s and would like to have a super low ride height (complete air ride kit) but the front seems to be my limiting factor. Any pics of the front fender work?

      Thanks and can't wait to see as this thing progresses!

      I don't have any in-progress pics of the front end work they did. Heat + Hammers is all they used

      Correct me if I'm wrong but arent there issues getting the front end that low with a normal Mustang II front suspention? Is your crossmember tucked up higher than a Mustang II type?
