Anyway you can modify the frame extension you built to mount the steering and sway bar above the frame rail extensions? Car will sit very low in the front and you would want something to help protect the susp if you hit a bump or something. Bottom out on the frame and not the suspension/steering. Also agree, you need to x brace and stiffen the frame our you will get flex. How are you going to use the donor motor? I have seen that the carb 302's done fairly nicely fetch a higher price then the stock fuel injected models and they look more authentic. Just an opinion though. Are you going to fab a fuel tank or mount a mustang II tank into your project? You will also need to build some bracing in the front and back to mount the body to for support, Also place a rubber type strip/isolation strip between the body and mounting framework to help aviod stress type cracking when mounting the body and when in use when it is finally completed. Keep asking questions as you go. There is no dumb questions when building one of these for the 1st time. Good luck and enjoy the experience.
