After searching through all of my photos I realize that I don't have one showing the bracket that attaches to the frame rails so I will have to take some new ones 



If it isn't broken..... modify it anyway!!!!

Those came with the rear end when I pulled it from the Jag. The shocks are KYB so definitely aftermarket. I just painted everthing. Powdercoat would have been better but wasn't prepared to make that investment until I was sure that the spring rate was right for my car.

You made custom lower control arms, or did those come with the axle assembly? If so they are aftermarket too. Or did you make them and narrow the unit? After installing mine with a custom fabbed crossmember I can tell you that using the Jag cage is probably a better idea. Just weld mounting tabs to it instead of using the original rubber mounts, or you could use them. Looks like you narrowed the whole cage just a bit. Nice work on reforming it!

The LCA's are my own design and I fabbed them up myself. Built my self a jig using the stock jag units and then formed everything up to fit. I will post a new thread with some photos. I would do some things different but they came out pretty well.
The cage width was not changed very much. Built myself a custom bracket that will bolt to the mustang frame rails and then attach to the jag frame.

For some one who has never used a forum before...you are posting like a pro!! and I am glad you are, those are some fantastic pictures, and the quality of work to modify the cage is equally impressive.
