You consider a retro fit IRS unit? That would complete the whole idea of later model with classic look. I've just found that leaf springs in a mustang leave much to be desired.

The leaf springs are going back in for now. I am eventually going to go with a coil over set up from Rod and Custom Motorsports. They make a complete bolt in set up. They are the people I bought my front end kit from.

I've seen a couple kits where they tossed the leafs, and ran LCA's from the front leaf spring mount, back to the rearend and I believe they ran a watts link with it. It was pretty neat. The leafs in our 65 matt, were two different heights, and had two different amounts of leafs. lol. The car would like, drive side ways, sway, and about kill you. We pulled them off and couldn't believe someone put them on.

My 67 has the Grab-A-Track suspension under it, which is basically a cheap performance suspension. Still has the orginal deisgn, just new leafs and shocks and swaybars and coils in teh front and all that and I have to say that I'm actually pretty pleased with it. I planned on doing coilovers eventually, but its a new suspension that honestly has nothing wrong with it. I've pushed it pretty hard before just to see what it was like and the tires were the holding back part. Now I wasn't on a road coarse or anything, but some twistes in the middle of nowhere with a crotch rocket riding my arse... He kept up, but he def didn't ride me during that little bit. lol

The leaf springs in the car are 22 years old. They might have 1000 miles on them. I put them in the car in June 1987 when I came home from the military. In August 1987 I took the car off the road. But I do need to get a rear sway bar and some sort of traction bars.

I did some cleaning and measuring today. Pulled the fuel tank out and drained out the 25 year old gas, there was about a gallon or so. Looked like piss. I started scrubbing it down and getting it ready to be painted. I also waisted about an hour cleaning up the spring shackles before I said screw this, I am getting new ones. I also put tires/wheels on the rears and check out the size. The 8.8 rear out of the 03 is about 2.5 inches wider than the 8 inch rear out of the 66. It just might fit the way it sits, but it will be close. I will lose more clearance when there are tires on the wheels.    This is where I left off on the gas tank. I scrubbed it down with a tire brush and dawn dish soap then rinsed it with the hose. After it dried I saw how dirty it still was and went over it with a wire brush. I did not get as much time to work as I expected today. But a little bit is better than nothing.   [/URL]

Well, if the rear end is 2.5" too wide over all, then a Fox body rear end should slide right in. The fox's are 1.5" shorter than the SN95 and the SN95 are 1.5" shorter than the 99 up models. So doing the math, a Fox should be right there and they are very cheap to get. Order some axle brackets from North Racecars and bolt your Mach brakes on to the Fox. All you would need is a decent set of aftermarket 5 lug axles or a two of the same side ranger axle. Sorry, just wanted to interject that. I really like this project, and I saw where you live and it made me chuckle, because I have a 65 coupe and I got it from Eastern PA. Small world. Mine was free for hauling it off from Eric Swarr, Swarr Auto. Anyway, great build, hope my suggestion helps ya.

Get an 8.8 out of the new 05-09 mustang. You can get the whole rearend for way cheap with less then 100 miles on it from newtakeoff.com A guy i know used that in his 66 and the width is perfect!

IF it is still too wide, you can simply slide fox axles into it and it will shorten up each side by 3/4". And then use the brackets I linked you too above. Good luck! Post up more pics, it gives me something to do over here in the sandbox. lol.

That is what I have heard. Right side ranger axles are the same length as the fox body axles from what I hear.

for sure dude! Can't wait to see this. I have a 65 collecting rust in the back of my shop. It is really rough, but I want to do something with it when I finally come home to stay. I am really closely following this build to get ideas and see what works and such. Keep going, it's gonna be sweet when you are finished!

I would rather go with a 9 inch over a 8.8, but they are harder to find and more expensive to build.
