Hi,

I'm new here but, I've played with early mustangs for a while. I went through the rust repair and rebuild on my the front end of my first mustang. I ended up with a "new" 40 year old suspension. If I were to do another one in that condition I would cut off the front end and replace in with a MII type front clip. You will pick-up better handling, steering, more brake options, and more room. It sounds like a big step for a first build but I think it is worth considering.
