Thread: Who's running MII IFS

Tweet

I have decided once and for all, after.....what a yr.....to go Mustang 2 ifs on the 53 plymouth. So I hit the junk yards and got my upper, lower control arms, and spindles (all I could find so far). It's all gonna need new bushings, who is using what? Where do you get yer bushing kits? Is Polly good? And where do I find all the hardwear, nuts, bolts etc. they were nickel and dime-ing me at the junk yard so i only took the actual pieces no hardwear (figured I'd wanna replace the rusty upper control arm, caliper, and strut bolts anyway. I didn't even get the struts. most of the places that pop up in my searches are way high priced for all the components. What is everyone else doin?

Saw some rotors on e-pay fer $65pr, and a crossmember is in the works here shortly. I'll be stubbing my frame to cut out the bent section and create more room fer steering and exhaust. Plus it will help me locate my ride height anywhere i want it. I have found a burst of motivation, and am starting to really get focused.

I just used the stock crossmember cut out of a pinto and all the stock components and so far they are all coming together, with new ball joints amd shocks of course. I bead blasted everything and repainted it all, I think its going to work great.

As far as rebuild kits for the Mustang IIs suspensions, the cheapest I found was through PST (couple of years ago).

Brickman, what did you use for a frame tab to mount the strut? That setup looks nice and clean, What kind of weight (body, etc) is goin on there. Do you know what the stock height of the spindle centerline is in relation to the stock crossmember? I'll be getting a Mach 1 crossmember hopefully (cross my finners). Oh yeah, are you going to go stock 9" rotors or bigger (cheby or ferd)? I dont know if I want to hassle with getting 11" rotors and having to get the caliper bracket, and have the ferd bolt pattern on the GM rotor. It's all going under a 3500lb 53 plymouth, but I'll have a ferd 9" w/disc in the back too. So I'm thinking stock 9" rotors. Not sure.

Thanks Mike P, I will check their site. Sorry to hear about yer selling off the ride, but glad you were able to sell local and get yer price.

Just visited PST, they got the whole bushing kabang fer $199. is that good, anyone seen it at a lower cost? Just hit the Speedway catalog, lotsa stuff. Watch out, I might need a couch to sleep on if the lady finds out.

Lets see: Built one myself out of 1/4" steel---Not sure yet, haven't had the drive train in it yet-----In relation to what part of the stock crossmember?---Mach 1? No difference untill 89 or 90----Stock drilled rotors from yogi's----anything else let me know.
