Looks awesome. Those bars have some tricky bends for that much clearance. Best project on this site IMO.

You can get them from Mustangs to Fear.

That brake tab was driving me insane, just got off the phone with Willie. Here is where they mount them, I would have never thought it wasn't on the frame rail. I'm going to check hose lengths tonight.

Thank you guys.

Mr Velocity - Wow cool, thanks so much for letting us know. We will definitely weld the brackets there. Thank you. Another thing we are a little concerned about is the clearance of the sway bar links. Are yours really close to your springs? Look how close our's are, maybe a 1/4 of an inch. Too close for comfort. We haven't welded on the sway bar mounts because of it. What do you think?

Yes, my sway bar is that close. It shouldn't hit.

I played with the flex line tonight, I think I'm still better off welding the tab at the same location but up on the frame rail (their bracket on the side actually). We'll see, just don't like how close the line comes to the spring, last thing I need to do is crush the brake line in the spring.

Great work as usual!

I wouldn't sweat the clearence issue to much. There's no reason the two should ever meet.

Again, you guys are doing some top notch work!

Love reading the progress. I can't remember what suspension did you go with for the front? Mustang II? Love the build and like I've said before with the detail work you two are putting into it this car will look great!

Oh btw do you still have the other fastback or did you sell it?
