Originality?
Good day!
For me originality was always king when it came to build a replica, but I realized "recently" that there are people out there that can do it better than I can ;-)
For my next build I do like to maintain the round tube chassis and suspension towers, but want to fit other control arms and hubs/spindles, like the upper front from Factory Five.
Has anybody looked into that and do you have a good source for racing suspension parts?
Surely North Carolina is full of them. In the 90s (that's before www dude!) I held a suspension parts catalog in my hands with very affordable components. Forgot the name (that's age related...)
I am also ready to modify the rear lower 427 control arm mount(s) to fit a non-"caster change" version, like on a Superformance. For that I would lengthen the channel profile along the underside of the suspension tower. I need to maintain a reasonable control arm length to keep camber changes small.
Or must I just get a FFR fit?? No...
