My brother and i have slowly been doing some mods to the car. Front suspension has been overhauled with late model mustang parts. Mostly from 4th gen mustang cobra, specifically 1998 used parts. i will keep this short, if anyone wants specifics let me know. Mustang Cobra 13 inch disc brakes, spindles, modded control arms etc. Shelby Rims are 18x9.5 and 18x12 i believe. 255 45 and 275 45 in the rear.

That is a great looking tbird and your work whilst pretty much hidden is a work of genius!! ;-)

I converted my 62' to discs from a 66 model, do you have any details and/or photos of how the conversion was done on this one?

best regards
Graeme

That is an awesome bird. I am getting ready to do a 63 like this and would like to know as many details of the suspension conversation as possible.

Thanks,
Chris
