Below the picture of my 67 Mustang is a hot link to my e-mail address. jec@aitbusiness.com
There' s going to be a fair amount of trial and error with these measurements but I am confident that we can figure it out.

Oh no, i designed them and had them custom made

That is really nice, I envy you with all that room you have to play with. I also was wondering if you made the rails yourself. The best I could see, there are no welds shown anywhere.

Hey man, i just got finished moving. Been working alot too and having garage sales and whatnot. Trying to get organized! Might have to look into moving the shop aswell since im futher away and the fastest way their is the highway and its under MAJOR construction.

Slammy, looks like you have all kinds of clearance outside of your frame rails.
Offline
Yea, I'm gonna need it too for control arms, air bag mounts and shock mounts

So Slammy, I am after some specifics, what is your track width, what hub did you end up using including bolt pattern, what were yore half shafts designed for in there OEM application, and is there any other specifics you can give on the project??
Offline
Hey man!
Track width will be around 60"
I used AWD Chevy Astro van hubs and axles straight out of the box which has a 5x5 bolt pattern.
Bolted everything together with some adapters i designed and had machined.
I thought about using the factory spindles also for simplicity but i want something cleaner so ill be building spindles with uniballs for balljoints. Should travel the 11" i need with no binding!
