Thread: Mustang II under '37 Buick Raadmaster

Mutt,
Since you have settled on Heidt's as a potential supplier have you called Heidt's tech line or e-mailed them from their Contact Heidts? I've found that when you get into specific questions about the products going to the source can save lots of grief. Another information source may be ..::FatmanFabrications::.., even if you're already sold on Heidt's kit approach. If you get it figured out post the answers so we'll all know for the future.

rspears,
Nothing is final until I order the parts, so I'm still open to other options.
I have e-mailed Mustang II specialist at speedway who recommended the Heidts Mustang II to me. I asked him the same questions and will pass on his response.
Will also contact Heidts direct.
Will look at Fatman as well.
Thanks

I think you'll find that the aftermarket OEM's pick their geometry dimensions based on their most popular chassis, knowing that being off a bit is not going to affect handling unless you get to an extreme (limo length or super, super short for example), but might result in some "parking lot howl" as you make slow, tight turns on hot asphalt. Highway driving is not going to result in any noticeable scrub wear unless you're driving hard & fast on a lot of severely winding roads, but asking the guys who make them to explain why or why not is a very reasonable question. You have the $$$ that they want.
