We are building this kind of old school mini tubbed with leaf springs. It may not be the quickest but I think we will have some fun.

Rusty, are you going to cut the crossmember out that is between the shock towers?

I didn't plan on it should I?

My 68 is having major header issues. The Mustang ones will work if I cut the member. Many guys put a bolt in like the Mustang. They are much smaller and allow more room for the header. It will also aid in oil pan removal should you need to pull a rod. This is my observations only and I still haven't cut mine.

A few more build photos from awhile ago.

We added 2 x 2 box tubing from the front to the rear torque boxes

Mini tubbed

Epoxy primed and a little seam sealer
