    Friend of mine owns a rod shop. He does clips on occasion but prefers to use an after market Mustang II crosmember. He is a dealer for Fatman's and Heits.

    The labor and parts to rebuild a clip and mate it to a chassis and get the sheet metal right is equal to or more than the cost of an installed after market crossmember with new or rebuilt Mustang II components.

    If you want something a bit stouter consider a Dakota front end. Industrial Chassis makes a crossmember for this swap. And you can get a reasonably new Dakota front end from a yard.
