    Very nice shock-tower delete! Looks like it came from the factory that way.

    Sweet looking ride. Keep us posted on the progress, please.

    Mustang II suspension, I'm guessing?


    .. and :Welcome: to the board. Hope to see you here often.

    That is absolutely beautiful.(y) What a terrific job you've done there. I love the way the shock towers have been removed. You can't tell it ever had any. Very impressive.(y) :)
