not sticking up for any particular company, but some companies, in their R&D processes, try the installation[s] as the typical back yard enthusiast would do using the readily available tools most have. not all guys have air tools and lifts. maybe the previous pics were of this ? shruggy i have no input on quality [or lack there of] for the kit[s] in question.

Like I posted, this is pre production mocking up means they have to make basic measurements and calculations before anything else gets worked on. They then make a jig to support the components and and do more measurements. Remember, you have to start from scratch before you can build something. I have used their components on 2 cars with great results, so can't wait to post my assembly pics on my Plymouth next month when I get started.

It's Complicated
Interesting. I have a 62 Dodge 880 2 door coupe Im getting ready to do the front suspension on. Right now going with the Alston G Street set up on the stock sub frame. If I knew the 62 front sub frame was the same as the later model C bodies. I might be interested. Just a little FYI I do have a spare front front sub frame for a 62 880. I might be willing to loan for mock up when Im done. Don't know if it would help or not. If it is different though. Wouldn't be any market to do one up for. Those cars a kinda of rare. Im using it now to pull measurements while its on the body of my 880 parts car. The 62 880 was the same as a 300 and Newport in 62. Dont know when the 880 changed front frames. But I think 62-64 880s were still the same. 63 on the 300s and Newports changed bodies don't know if the sub frame changed or not or how much. Keep us posted on the C body stuff. My car going to fab in about a month for the front suspension.

Man some folks here HATE MFR, can't ever figure out why.Are those shockwaves similar to what Gas Monkey used on the Ford GT they did?

Like what Twostick posted. MFR dont have to do air suspension. I just hope they leave enough room for those, if people wants to install em.
