The MOOOOSIE got distracted when focusing the camera and saw all those holes in the block, reminded him of a 1/3 of a dozen Tim Hortons glazed donuts, he just lost all focus.  Easy to do when thinking about donuts.

That's my story and am sticking to it.

notice on what you can see of the upper control arms,  is that he has the tubular style most likely powder coated for protection and much more reasonably priced than the investment cast stainless type kugel also produces.

My friend frank AGUECI who runs VINTAGE VEHICLE SERVICES at Gm Canada installed the kugel in his 1931 oldsmobile coupe with only a small modification to the fender braces .

Forgot he did that.

I used a TCI Front End and like the Kugel it wasn't cheap but fits under my fenders without any modification.  I want it to handle well and let my daughter drive it so that's why I chose it.

vette59jdwl and madmike3434 if you don't have a wide screen monitor  all you have to do is go to the bottom of the pictures that I posted and you will see a blue bar that you can click and drag to the left to pan the pictures to the right...You will be able to see the front end without problem....believe me its there

Strange thing juust happened  i had it all typed out and pooof  gone.I took pics of the front end my buddy just put under his 65 Ford half tone truck had to cut the p72 ford crown victoria frond end in half and cut one inch out of each side and sew it all back together for a total of two inches narrower.He has 7000 miles on it so far and says it rides like a dream. My idea was to take the 700 lb springs out of it and replace it with 400 lb springs.Ghost hit the nail on the head so to speak.My idea on that was to cut the springs two inches and cut the towers two inches,and put it all back together,not to sure how much i will have to cut out of the middle  will have to size it up next week  to tied up right now i included three pics of the bare unit  i have kicking around.
   If push comes to shove i will retain the 1954 chevy truck front end  It has the same dimensions as the 1932 only difference is the size of king pins and juice brakes which i feel is a good thing

What blue bar

Truck axles are also 2 inches lower than car axles

Hey guys, it's been a while. but I put a set of aftermarket upper A arms on my stock mustang II front end. I think I'm going to have room for my fenders without notching them.

[themoose]

Looks like a nice clean setup.

Nice work, that'll be great if you don't have to notch the fenders.

[yellowbeard]

got a few dents in the front fenders, got them to fix then I'll be ready to put them back on the car.
