mustang II suspension install

does any one have good detailed pics of a mustang II crossmember instalation and maybe some advise on the eaisest n best way to do this just bought a mustang II front clip and am gonna be working on getting it mated up to my 36 coupe just wanted some pics n advise to refrance once i start so i dont screw it up lol

Jason, I don't have any pics for you but I did a 37 dodge a long time ago and it went well and rode great.
you said you have a must II front end, is it out of a mustang or is it an aftermarket unit?
I would recommend the fatman unit as it is built very beefy, with that being said I am very cheap and most of the ones I have done are cut from pintos or mustang II's.
when you put one in a 36 frame just remember not to mount the front end to high on the frame, those frames have a very high raise to them(around 5-6" from the bottom of the frame)
the one that I did had the upper "A" arms just above the top of the frame and I used stock arms so I made reliefs in the frame just in case I needed it for alignment(I did not have any clearance problems after it was done)I did not need to make the clearance in the frame, and if you went with tube A arms you wont need the frame notches.

There are tons on the web, do searches.
Most that have done both a stock retrofit and a kit have said that the extra money for a kit is well worth it.

This ought to give you plenty to read...

Yep, it sure is, probably why the tires look like they do. Going to do some serious tire scuffing every time you turn that one. Gene
