    Thanks.
    If you have any problems if you will email the pictures to me I can post them.
    It's pretty easy to download photos from you computer. Just scrowl down the message to manage attachments, click on manage your attachments, go to the "download from your computer section, then hit the browser button, go to the file you have the picture in, then the picture and double click on the photo and it will appear in the browser, hit upload and you have it.

    I'm sure I could find out if I looked back through all the pages, but. What type of rear end / rear suspension was in it? Also, you can you keep the shock towers with the aje suspension if I'm not mistaken?

    You do not have to cut the shock towers with the AJE front suspension, It just allows you to make extra clearance by cutting them way back.....

    Yeah I saw wedek's post. I still wasn't clear if wedek was your friend who bought it from you or if wedek bought it from your friend on eBay. Thanks for clearing it up! Sounds like it went to a good guy.

    The chassis jig is under the car

    Im in the beginning stages of getting the chassis jig together and the car is just sitting on it for now. This week I hope to have the car raised to ride height and secured to the jig properly.

    First order of business will be to mock up the tubular mustang 2 front suspension under the car.

    Then all thats left is everything.

    Greetings from right around the corner from you ... I am in Dunedin myself.

    Is that the chassis that was on Craiglist? If so, I have been seeing there for a while. The guy was going to put it into an early Comet, so it kept popping up in searches I was doing.
