of course the rules have changed alot since then

Still kicking this around...I thought "stock" was supposed to be entry level if you can read my chicken scratch installing "new" stock front end components is quite a bit more money than converting to GT or MS specs.

my 98 sn95 with stock front end, core support, ect still all there Strange Gt struts

Glad you talked to Rob. I talked to him , I think, in the late 80"s when he was still racing that car & one of the divisional's was still @ our home track. Still have the business card he gave me.Yeah alot has changed, he ran that car Hard @ least from my view.

My Cougar wasn't offered with the boss combo, but if I win the lottery I'm eyeing the 285 combo.

For wheels I really like the satin Centerlines.

I have decided on the Sanders Eng. wheels.

If you read the posting, is the suspension from Bill's other Mustang; a 1998 SN95.

I have been debating with myself if I wanted to bump this project up a few classes, as of now it still remaines a "stock" eliminator.

With that being said it will have a stock 71 mustang front suspension which consits of upper and lower control arms with the spring and shock exactly as produced by ford for the 71 model year

It will stay as a stocker...getting all the new metal to fit is a royal pain in the....
