[QUOTE="69clark, post: 10501765, member: 39059"] Update: So I picked up some of my parts on Saturday to start mocking up all the brakes and suspension to start making sure everything will work together, and to start measuring for the wheels. Here are the front end parts. The only parts I have left to buy for the front are the 14" 2pc Baer Eradispeed rotors and I already have the Steeda bumpsteer kit on the way. Here are the front end parts. New Ford hubs, nuts and dust caps, RaceCraft 2" drop spindles (based on 94-95 spindles) and the Alcon calipers, mounts and hardware. When I am done the calipers won't say Roush on them, so I have to get ride of that. Can't wait to mock it up with the rotors. [ATTACH=full]164415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164416[/ATTACH] Here is everything mocked up as much as I can get. It looks like I will have to go with the standard length control arm as it seems like the 1" shorter ones that I have are going to cause issues. Hopefully they will just exchange them for me. [ATTACH=full]164417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164418[/ATTACH] I also got the rearend back from my father. It has been narrowed a total of 6". For now it is just cut down and the ends tacked on so that I can get the shock mounts tacked on and again measure for the wheels. Then the rearend will go back to him to fully weld the ends, weld the tubs, refabricate the control arm pickup points (as we think we can do a better job than factory). We also have to clock the calipers so that they are at the 2 o'clock position, so they won't stay on top like they are now. Then of course we will clean up the rear end and get a good coat of paint on it. The rear end utilizes 9" ends, custom 31 spline strange axles, HD FRPP diff and 3.73 gear set, steeda spherical bushings, BMR adj uppers and Drake girdle cover. And of course topped off with the 12" wilwood brake setup. [ATTACH=full]164419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164422[/ATTACH] Here it is in the car. [ATTACH=full]164423[/ATTACH] And cycled all the way up where parked height would be. Again, I just used one of the wheels off the cobra for the second picture as it is the only 5 lugger I have until the new wheels are done. [ATTACH=full]164424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]164425[/ATTACH] So this week I will be welding in the shock crossbar and tacking in the shock mounts. This is the stuff that is yet to go in.
