Well I guess Im kinda jumping into rat rod's full bore.
a couple weekends ago I traded my broken 1990 mustang GT for a 1950 Dodge/ Fargo
my mustang had a broken frame rail and 303,000km and was worn out in the chassis and suspension deparment, but its going to a high school teacher and his students will have fun with it.
it came with a mustang 2 crossmember and a 4 link setup for the rear and has ls v8 engine mounts and much of the frame is already boxed in and in real nice shape.
I do have a friend how has a 01 5.3 (lm7 i believe) iron block engine with 500 or so km it's like new but it's been sitting in his garage on a stand for 6 years it comes with a ecu so Im going to keep it efi its cheaper that way
I want to try and run a t-5 trans t-56 are real pricey I wont be modding the engine. I have ALOT of work ahead of me and I bet theirs not alot of 23 year old rat rodders around.
it does have a bunch of stuff in the bed, hood doors and some other goodies.

Welcome from down the road in Newcastle.

I have the stamped OEM upper and lower a-arms.
If I were you I'd look for a set of strut rod eliminator a-arms, if I remember correctly there was a guy on Canadian Rodder asking $250 for the set.
