Whack off the front frame rails and install a strut front clip.

I priced out doing that and I thought it was about the same price? I looked at them thru Alstons.. Maybe there is better place to build a strut front end?

You wont strut front clip your car for the price of Bob's front end unless you are doing all the welding and chassis work yourself. I have been using Bob's front end for two years and it is one of the nicest pieces I have ever put on my car.

As frustrating as it is, the harsh reality is they will sell 50 of the Ruststang front K frame kits to every Mopar unit. If it's a completely re-engineered kit the development time ($$$) has to be recouperated somehow. not trying to justify the costs of these kits, but it would have something to do with it.

X2 - all those expenses are amortized over a much larger volume. As my Dad used to say, the first light bulb costs $10 million, the second one is a dollar.

Yeah, you have to be able to fab and weld to put the strut clip in, or at least know someone willing to help you for next to nothing to do it at around the same price. I would think most of us here can fab and weld or know someone willing to help.
