Now to remove the LH fender and find time to start reworking the crappy welds on the boxing plates on the frame. Then I'll remove the SBC mounting points, and think about starting on my fire wall.

A couple of questions for you guys.

1. I'm assuming the whole dash will unbolt from the body? I haven't looked into it yet. I might try it this weekend.

2. What is a good big brake kit for a budget type project? I don't want to be spending $500 on front rotors and brackets. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I'll get some pics taken tomorrow and post them up.
Yes, the dash unbolts.
I got one of these disc brake kits on ebay. MUSTANG II ~ 2 11" ROTOR FORD CAR TRUCK DISC BRAKE CONVERSION KIT - NO SPINDLE | eBay
At the time, they also had a "Make Offer" button. It was $240 Buy It Now. I offered $200 and they accepted. The only downside that I've found is it doesn't come with dust shields.

Where did you order your tubular control arms from?
