    No rubbing...and the lips are rolled. Before I put the 1/4" spacers on the front rubbed on the UCA's at full lock.

    Good recommendations for suspension rebuild?

    IMHO the only reason to run a MII suspension is if the shock towers have to go to fit a large engine like the late model modulars. At least from a ultimate handling standpoint chaning to a MII design is the wrong thing to do. Ya know J Bittles (the JBA guy) 68 TA car pulls over 1 g with a stock...

    Nothing in the back and a 1/4" spacer up front only to keep the inner wheel lip off the UCA at full lock. The rear axle is a stock width from a 69 Mustang

    At my ride height there is no way a 18x9 will fit the front...not sure it would fit at any ride height with a stock based suspension.

    It is about $150 a wheel at www.weldcraftwheels.com This is the second pair of fronts I have narrowed. Ther first were replica Cobra R's that I bought before there were 17x8 versions available.

    These wheels are not available in 18x8...so I bought the 18x9 with +36mm offset (2005+ Mustang size) and narrowed them 1".

    I am going to look into the pinion angle thing... The brakes are Baer Track 13" in the front and 12" in the rear. I bought these brakes in 98 before they had the logo caliper

    68 Coupe Just Finished

    sorry that I was not clear...on the front all I know is that I cut one full coil off the springs. If it helps the height from the ground to the top of the fender opening is 23.75" and the back is 24.50". On the back there are no blocks...I only temporarily used blocks to determine how much I...

    Yeah about 2" from where it would have sat with the GW springs as purchased. For the back I used lowering blocks to mock up the ride height before pulling the springs and getting them dearched. I would dearch about a 1/2" less than you want then dial it in with some thin blocks. That way you can...

    Thanks a lot for the photochop, it looks great. However, I decided not to install the moulding and returned it to DMP. So the car will be going back to Mohrs Restoration (shameless plug) to get the holes filled.

    Actually I have it all plumbed but have yet to wire it all up...I did add a 5 psi pressure switch to the regulator outlet for the nitrous solenoid.

    I am honored to be a part of your inspiration folder! The interior is all stock except for the gauges (Autometer Ultra-Lites) that I did myself and the Grant steering wheel. Future plans call for Scat ProCar seats (w/out the headrest), a 6 pt roll bar and 4 pt harnesses.
