    Hey all.. Been busy ( with the help of my good friends)working on my 1970 Mity Mav project. I just wanted to post a few pics for anyone who is interested in the suspension part of my project. Below you will find a few shots including the Mustang II front end, removed shock towers, and suspension, the Art Morrison rear 4 link. Also check out the rear suspension and I included a shot of the 347 motor that will be going into my car soon. I know this kind of project isnt in everyone's taste ( cant please everyone, so I do it for myself)-- Im very happy with how things are going on this project. [​IMG]

    Nice! Any chance you can throw out a few more shots of the 4 link and did you have to get into the floor at all for the installation?

    WOW that's sweet. I love the way you did the shock towers to hide the upper control arms, I think that's what I see. Very nice work.

    Oh sure, Id be happy to post more pics. I did have to go up through the floor with the four link. The first pic shows that-- but it also shows that I was able to maintain the backseat latches etc, so it will all be hidden when the seat and carpet is back in. I have a couple other pics of the back seat area if you need to see them.. let me know I'll find them. Thanks for asking.
