M-2 front suspension questions
I have been pondering which front suspension to use on a 52 Chevy Deluxe and feedback from a previous post convinced me to use an M-2 setup. I have found a 76 Mercury Bobcat and best I can tell, is same as the Pinto which is same as the M-2. Is there any reason not to use the stock Bobcat crossmember and spring caps. It looks like a few hours of cutting, grinding and welding would save me the $400 that a store bought crossmember would cost. Has anyone done it this way? Will try to use steering column from same car but will have to use a universal or two to get aroung the Cadillac 500 engine. Also plan to use an ECI conversion package to mount third generation camaro disk brakes. Will use master cylinder/booster from donor camaro, of course mouting them off the firewall (which will need some serious setback to clear engine). Anybody see any potential issues with this plan? Thanks in advance for all the advice.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
