I am speaking of suspension, frame rails, etc. As you can see in the picture it's ate up.

What parts of a mustang II suspension will fit any other mustang as a direct bolt in? I am curious about it...

Oh man... That is even more rust in worse places than the 71. Looks like everything is missing, control arms, frame rails, everything. WOW. Good luck with that, I think a parts car would be a good bet if it has a desireable engine, otherwise, it is a parts car. How are the floors and cowl? Kinda stunned at those pics.[:-]

Is it fair to say that he will be going down to the frame and welding on an entirely new body? Although you can't see the rest of the car, from the looks of those pictures, it looks as though everything will be rusted through. If the rust had time to eat through a spring, it had time to go through some metal.

The Mustang II front suspensions are popular with hot rod fabricators. Since mine is pretty much gone I thought about using one on it. I know there will be a lot of fabrication involved in tieing it to the body.
