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.

I have only been tack welding extensions onto the frame so that if I decide that they need to be different there easy to remove and I'll weld them all on solid once I figure out for sure where everything needs to be. good idea, I'll see if I can move the sway bar up any. I also planned on putting at least one brace between the frame rails but I don't know where the trans mount is going to be yet. as far as the engine goes I haven't decided whether I'm going to carb it or keep it fuel injected, I'm a fan of carbs but I would think that fuel injection would sell for more maybe? The fuel tank I'm using is an extra I had laying around for a 69 mustang, I had to trim it a little but after that it fit right in. as far as the bracing, I figured I would need to install that and I have a good spot for it in the rear and on the sides but I don't know where or how to mount the front of the car to the frame. but good tip on the rubber isolators. thanks again for all the help
