You can build this thing right without spending a million bucks. Hope to see you out there soon. You and BJ can gang up on the wagon.

The Ford gang throwing out the gauntlet. The 4200lb tow vehicle against the little Fords. This will be fun.

Well I made some good headway over the last week. Picked up some old school Centerline wheels, a 5 lug disk brake front set up from a 94 GT, ordered upper and lower control arms and Mike Graham is going to sell me BJ's C4 with a low 1st gear and a Mark Yacavone converter.Next weekend will be a busy one. Lot's to do.

The '94 brakes may not be legal. I thought that the '94 went to a different spindle type, which may cause a problem. I don't know, but you may want to check if making the spindle change is considered cross-breeding parts. It may not matter, since aftermarket brakes are allowed. However, the spindles as I recall are very different from the 79-93 spindles, as are the rotors.

If you do run into problems, I have a set of 5 lug rotors and gt calipers that I would donate to you. You have to pick up the shipping costs. I had the caliper pistons coated by Swain, and solid inserts installed. The rotors have 1/2" long studs and new bearings. They spin pretty well.

They're available to you if you need them.

They are supposed to be a direct bolt in, but if it turns out that I can’t use them I will just take them back. I was going to get 87-93 spindles and run 5 lug rotors, but thought this set up was better. I’ll have to look into it a little deeper.
Thanks for the offer.

I'm finally getting some work done. Rear end out, cleaning up the sheet metal. Pulling the front end apart. Nasty greasy mess. Got a great deal on the rims. I cant remember the last time I saw Firestone Drag 500 tires. I like the old school rims.
