well i have managed to make so progress on my new project, i started by removing all the old suspension and adding a rear axel out of a monte carlo with new springs and installed a mustang II front end. the mustang II ended up being to narrow so i pulled it back out and started cutting and welding. what i ended up with is a new front frame section and a ifs out of a 94 mustang parts car. next i dropped in a 350/350 combo made some mounts and just set the front clip on to check clearances. heres some pics of the progress so far. i still need to make my strut mounts and finish the welding

pic 1: day i brought it home
pic 2: monte rear mustang II front
pic 3-5: new frame tacked in with suspension

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those HR 390's are REALLY expensive and hard to find here lately...... Aren't they.

Car looks good the way it is.

Keep it up.
