Picture's on Page 7 of Photo section the last 3, car, dash, engine. I know I did it wrong didn't say what there are or who's Sorry Jim

I thank you for the advice I called speedway motors and asked about Mustang II kits, they said if I know the front weight they could tell me, I used the earlier post on weight and used 1700 lb they said use 700lb spring, but said I need to test the spring that is in now. Well I'm just going to the hotrod shop in our area and let them fix. You can't push or jump on the front and get more than 1" deflexsion I don't know how too post a pic?

I don't have info on IFS or the supplier (or who redid the car I know it was done in Alabama 2009) I could not see the bottom of springs or any marks,I know I used ESPO 13" springs before and they where good for stock P15. Older Mustangs had soft springs about 350lb originally, as far as steering it's not fast and the return to straight after a turn is not fast either, I'll find a good shop and have them check it out. Other than that the car is 100% looks and shape.

I thank all for info, I just got the car this year it was completed before I bought and they new nothing about the build, The tire's are P215/75 R15. I looked at the spring's and they only have 6 coils and very close together not much more than 9" long, and seemed to be about 1/2 diameter I changed my last 47 P15 spring's and the where a lot thicker. My hard ride is probable bottoming out, I'll let some else change these doesn't look as easy as the one's I did on 47 P15 stock.

Your right, no info no answer, I got the 48 tis way, MII front, 350 chev engine & trans 10 bolt chev rear. power brake's & steering. Hard ride ? feels like I have run free tire's like my corvette, I don't know if they put the right springs for the front weight of the car, and I don't know what the 48 front weight is. Thanks Jim

Could any one tell me where I might find the front vertical molding for a 1940 Plymouth,it runs down the grill front I'm not sure if an early Plymouth might fit ? Thanks Jim

Thought this ply would interest all, parked at a repair garage up my street, It's like the one my friend made for Annie the movie in NY some time ago. Jim
