    Back in 88 I started the build on my 38 chevy (same frame as yours) I bought a mustang 2 and cut the front end off removing the metal that would be the frame if it had one. When all the measuring was done the 38s frame was 1/8" wider than the opening in the mustang crossmember. A bar clamp was used to pull it together and I slid the two to geather. I rolled the rack with the use of bevel washers. When we set the front end alignment we used the mustang specks. I could take off ramps at 60 and the car just went right around the corner. never had a bit of trouble. BUT I did a lot of measuring before putting it together.

    cfisher,
    Thanks for the feedback.
    1) If you used an aftermarket kit, what brand was it?
    2) Did you have the 11" rotors, GM calipers & brakes, and if so did you ever have maintenance issues with them.
    3) Did you have any of the parking lot howel that rspears mentioned?
    Thanks
