Set it up with the driver in the car. I know that alot of replicas have been built with the old Mustang front suspension. It probably is fine for cruising. But, lets face it, it's not what I would calll a race suspension. I wouldn't drive any car on the race track that wasn't properly prepared, properly inspected, and had the appropriate parts. It's very easy to get into trouble with a shortwheelbase car that has a fairly high center of gravity and alot of power. Have fun but be safe too.
I drive my car almost exclusively on the street so I didn't want to add a spliter or air dam to keep the lift down. So, I designed my chassis in a way that the air is diverted out the side of the car. Air goes through the radiator and out vents behind the wheel. The air can not get into the engine compartment and build up. My car is stable at high speeds. The front end is rock solid. Because of efficient air flow my radiator is only 12 inches by 18 inches. It sits straight up. I have never had a temp issue.
Lots of good info and advice in this thread. John
