This has to be one of the easiest building kit cars there is.I have the gel coat body! I been watch my friend build a FF Daytona this is nothing compared to what they "FF" guys have to do. My hat goes off to those who are working on them.
To make this car a roller is easy.

The front end just about snaps together. Just get the strut rods from A&C.
I bought the larger 11" Mustang 2 brakes off eBay.

The rear brakes can be tricky. Just do a little research on Explorer rear disc Or SVO brakes. The hardest thing is get the emergency drum pads in place.

The brake lines are tricky. But with the body off you can get a lot done. I was going to flare my own. I ended up going to Napa and get them in different lengths this was goof proof. NO LEAKS.

The most difficult part of the whole build was the brake/clutch box. I ended up mating a corvette manual cylinder and a wilwood 1" master for the clutch. That is not part of the roller.
Congratulation. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. You be surprise how fast you will get a answer.
