    does anyone know where i can find a complete front end kit? i thought i had it book marked from about a yr ago, but now i cannot find it and dont even know where to search for it online. the company offered a complete kit that had everything needed to rebuild the front suspension. it was part for part like the original only BEEFIER. it had all the rubber too and balljoints. it had it all. the price was around $650 iirc. anyone have any idea what i mean? ty

    EDIT: iirc this was a kit from laurel mountain mustang, but i now see they are out of business.

    so what parts do i need to buy for a total front end rebuild? i had all of this listed out last yr but ive lost my list. anyone able to post up exactly what ill need real quick? i need it all. ty guys!

    The Laurel Mtn kit was iffy at best, seems they went downhill fairly quickly...

    You might contact Randy at Melvin's Classic Fords Parts in Conyers GA. 770-761-6800 They should have everything you'll need. You might even take a Saturday trip down there from Rome, would only be around 95 miles +/- one way and save on shipping costs. Call first to be sure. They are good folks to deal with. I went there a couple of weekends ago to get a few bits and pieces for my Comet.
