Project Rustang Revival - Input Wanted

[bapgood]

thought I recognized them. looks like you are off to an ambitious start, Im excited to see how it tuns out. I like how you are setting up your jig. Some day I'd like to try a similar thing with my 67 fairlane.

Thanks Zach.
Right now its a little tail heavy, if I didn't have the additional front structure it would be doing a wheelie . I will add some structure in the back just not sure how I want to proceed back there yet.

So I did a little more cutting (rest of the firewall) and some measuring......but I'm a little confused still about the rockers

With the firewall completely gone I was able to measure the width that corresponds with the rockers and it was approximately the same width down to rockers....which is an inch or so narrower than the rockers just in front of the rear wheels.

I have found conflicting information on the web....I have a shot in the dark email out to dynacorn to see if they might share some info, so we will see on that.

I would love to hear some input on suspension. However keep in mind I'm trying to stay on somewhat of a budget and fab most if not all of it myself. I'm not trying to build a track car, just a good driver that can handle the track.

The plan for the front is to do something like Wes's SN95 spindle/hub/coilover strut sexiness (his link is in my first post). However I'm still open to suggestions, and it would be really nice if I could figure out a good way to increase the width so I can run new mustang offset wheels without spacers.

The rear is still kind of open. I'm not quite sure what I think of the short arm four links. Again for what I'm looking for it's hard to beat what Wes did. But again suggestions welcome.

I kind of feel like an unoriginal clown and should probably change the title to Project Pilfer and Plagiarize

I am with you, I like the idea of a late model strut suspension for these since it will greatly improve handling and drivability... plus the parts a readily available. I am planning something similar for my coupe as well, even been searching for CAD drawings of the newer Mustang chassis to aid in the process (no luck yet though).

I hope you have better luck finding cad drawings or models than I did, and If you do I hope you share them with me



I tried finding some cad models but I couldn't come up with anything.

Doubt it... So far I have had no luck at all.

How about doing a California Special or High country special PT clone. Haven't scene that done yet.

Paul,
I'm assuming your talking about the body, I'm not familiar with the high country special PT.
