70 slantroof question about your Mustang II conversion

I read a past post you did where you stated that you dropped your upper arm mount down 1/2" for better camber curve. Do you have any pictures of this and could you explain how you developed your plot or discovered the 1/2" drop was better? I am working on a 65 so any help is appreciated. How is your progress on your conversion, will it be on the road this summer? Thanks again.

Thanks 1970 slantroof, the picture came through good, would you happen to have one of a close up of the upper arm mount? I does give me a good idea of what you did. So have you pre assembled the suspension to see how it works yet?

My wife is pressuring me know to get mine done and on the road this year, we'll see, I would like to but I am still at a bare shell that still need the paint stripped and finish body work done.

Thanks agian.

Thanks 70 slantroof. It looked like in the pictures that on one side your using a tubular lower and on the other you are using a stock lower? If you are going to use the stock lower are you using one of the strut rod eliminator kits or are you going to use the strut rod?

Very nice work, I am thinking of reinforcing the front the same way from the rail to the firewall, but I think I am going to do it on the outside of the engine bay.

Would you be kind of enough, if you still have them, is give the measurement of the upper, lower control arm and tire rod lengths you used to make your cardboard suspension mock up. I would like to try it and experiment with some different ideas. Also what are good camber rates ranges? I am looking to have a car that is mainly street duty but be able to handle the road twisties at speed, probably the same goals as you, so I don't need race car that handles like it is on rails. I am trying to find a source that would give acceptable ranges for the different suspension elements while designing a suspension. If you have them or know of a good book or source, I would be very gratefull if you could tell me. I know everything is a compromise but there must be acceptable ranges to stay within.

Thanks for the pictures, they are very helpfull. If you got anymore I would love to see them, especially any that are a closer shot of the upper mount. Sorry to keep bugging you, but when I get going on this again, I want to make sure I have everything lined up.

Thanks again for your help.

I was hoping you had the upper and lower arm lengths because I don't have any of the stock arms any more unfortunately. If you happen to find the measurements and don't mind posting them, I would appreciate it.

You said you are using the lower arm also, are you using the strut rod like the stock or are you using one of the strut rod eliminator kits, pivot welds to the frame and a small bent tube bolts to your lower arm and new pivot point?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot 70 slantroof, I look forward to your info.
Jim.

Another question I forgot to ask was I assume you are going to use a sway bar, which one are you using and what about the front springs?

Thanks again.
Jim

Just bumbin it up.

Thanks 70 slantroof, my email is jim.wild@state.vt.us . I have a couple more questions, I may of asked but not sure, did you have to notch the outside frame rail for the spring clearance and do they do anything to compensate for the track width distance. The 65 mustang and mustang II are close to the same track width, but the 70 mustang is wider, I thing 2 or 3 inches. Thanks.
