thats funny, it was my mom's black 86 gt 5-speed that got our family into stangs. she still has the 86, and now has a white 88 5.0 vert auto to compliment it!

yea back in the 70's my mom had a 68 mustang coupe 302 4 speed... she has missed that car till she got this one

 

[Tommy]

My stepdad had a 67 coupe with a 302 3 speed manual. He lost it in a poker game!!!

Ok ya I see the bushings in the pic. Maybe they added them to the kits recently. I'd also recomend using a different gasket material than they provide. Its VERY VERY soft rubber and it is pretty much useless. I bought these gaskets and I love them compared to what I got in that kit.http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=802

Thats just my experiance with the kit.

 

[Foxman]

nice! thanks for the info

 

[Foxman]

boxing my control arms and making my subframe connectors...

 

[Daniboy1983]

Looks like a good start. How thick is the metal you are using to box your control arms?

 

[Foxman]

1/8 inch

 

[Foxman]
