Re: 1978 Mustang II
Are mini-spools legal?

Re: 1978 Mustang II
Yes ,but all spools must have aftermarket axles with them.

Re: 1978 Mustang II
I took a pair of the universal slappers and welded them to an extra pair of spring plates so they are like the better bars.

Yeah, that's pretty much the plan. Going to either use the present plates. Or maybe, see if I can find something that I can adapt to the Mutt II. Not rocket science, just a little hillbilly ingenuity. Plus, we're not making killer torque. Just need to find a way to get the car to react that it likes. One of my headaches with this body, is shocks. Rancho makes a set of fronts. I have not searched much, yet, rears are going to be a bit of a pickle.

Re: 1978 Mustang II
That's one of those things that you don't have to worry about until after you get the car to the track! What's the sense in buying shocks when you don't know what the car is going to want for shocks yet?

Biggest thing with this car is to keep it in focus. Make a plan and stick to it. Keep the car in runnable condition thru each phase. Start at the rear and work forward. The only item we've stepped out of bounds so far, is an aluminum fuel cell. We got that cheap, pure stumble upon deal.

Re: 1978 Mustang II
Thanks Charlie. Crappy dark photo taken from a phone. This wasn't in the plan. I can rob some pieces and fittings from my bracket car. Be easier to get a good fuel check from a cell. Cleaning the old fuel tank would be a pain, that was what I originally had planned to go with.
