Re: Ol' Blue

I'll check that out, thanks.

Today I got the frame. It looks straight, has no real visible problems. The springs and hangers are still in place, and I think that will be helpful for the future. More on that in a moment.

I'm thinking Mustang II front end kit. Here are some I've started looking at:

Full Tilt Street Rods
Southern Rods & Parts
TCI
Helix
Heidts

I have no idea which one is better, I do know Helix is super expensive and that the first 2 are probably on the lower end.

So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to here them.

As for the rear, maybe new springs and shocks. It is going to be a driver, as showoff driver, but a driver nonetheless.

So again, suggestions WITH reasons are welcome.

Other than checkin in on the thread, this may be the last real post for a bit as the 54 is demanding some attention!
