New to the forum. Im looking for links to threads or web sites that involve full frame conversions or front subframe from scratch builds for use with m2 suspension kits. Ive been doing research but a little extra help and info can never hurt.
Since you have the front frame-horns removed make sure to tie the new ones to the rear. You are right about FLEX. If jacking it changes the body, BUILD A FRAME! I do think the OEM Mustang can be made very stout, but you have already committed. You probably know this, but a brace between the shock towers is a must. Many forego this brace, but NOT ME, and with the front frame tied to the back, you have a car-on-a-frame...old-school style.I bought the car with modernizing in mind. If you gotta buy everything why buy it old? Why save old small 6cyl 4lug drum brakes? I wanted to use the drawings to design a front subframe that connects to the rear sub. I am new to mustangs but have found repo steel on my other vehicles to just not be up to snuff and dont want to play that 5 year revolving door game again. The floor in my car does not appear to be strong enough to support a subframe. But it doesnt have holes or look that degraded just looks to be under designed for what im going to do with it. The car shifts under the force of a jack before lifting a tire.
same amount of effort less cost. it takes me less time to make two sticks that z twice than to make $1500 for the total control weld in sub and then I put my drums back on that ? so instead of of expensive $750 brake kit and 500 in springs and shocks. 1500 for a front suspension k member kit similar price better ride.
I have prints for the connectors and the ford print. i guess thats all you need. I thought some one would have a cad or napkin drawing of a replacement sub rail to diy with 2x3x.120 I can trial and error it out. but why if I dont have to. I also can buy one front half rail for $60 and use that as a pattern
I have a model A and all this stuff is around for that thought this car might be the same.
