kgwest you are correct sir i just found that out today
Rick.Coleman im assuming that you used your original chassis right. how did you have your rear end shortened. Im also thinking about using an S10 chassis, if i went with that do you think it might be wider? let me know how it goes with your project it sound like we are after something very similar. do you have any pics if so my e mail is

TheLlama if i go with the original chassis my friend did mention the mustang IFS like you and also a 77 camaro front clip would work. there are so many options and i have not reserched it that well. its going to be a long process. but hopefully worth it.
thanks you guys for taking the time to respond hope i get some progress and ill start posting pics !
