Still working on getting the last remaining front suspension parts (coils, shocks, spindles, strut rods).



Restoring some bumper brackets





Does she resemble a car yet?

Decided to start throwing the body together while I wait for ups to bring me more suspension parts.

I ordered a pair of new 70 front spindles, with the larger bearings, from mustangs unlimited. My secret front springs are already here and today calvert delivered me some beautiful shocks. Once the spindles arrive later this week, I will bust out the spring compressor and have the front ready for brakes and tires!

I checked with Mustangs Unlimited about six months ago for spindles for my 70 coupe and they said that they were back ordered and not expecting to get any in. I hope they got their supply problem solved and your spindles work out well. I had a hard time finding the right spindles and ended up ordering them from Chris Alston's Chassis Works. Good luck!

Is this strictly for the drags? On the street it would be interesting to se how those 90/10's react to the potholes around here.

Little bit of both, siding everything towards the strip though. I will sacrifice ride quality for E/T.
