Well i bought the AJE suspension kit mid summer an didnt have any time to install it cause of work an cause i live in 3 locations lol. This past week iv been finally starting to cut n gut my car of unnecessary parts. This build is goin to take me for ever. Plans are to install a 281 3V motor with a auto or if i can get my hands a T-56 for a good deal ill drop it in. full AJE front set up with 13 inch cobra breaks.the back of the car might go with a 4 link set up or maybe a IRS outta a 03-04 cobra, along with a min tube, hooking up with 305 0r 315 18's. Here are some starter pic of the progress

Looks like a clean platform to start with. Im sure the final product will turn out great.

Btw, you can never be too much of a gear head lol.

when you get ready to mini tub the car D.S.E. should have their kit on the market by then. The other day I was ordering fittings and the guy on the phone said that kit will allow a 335 in the rear.

Installed my AJE front kit this passed summer into my 65'fastback. Had the car for past 12years and Js getting started. .......The install and fitments were smoothe; I cut my shock towers back further than this. Plated everything back and welded in. Be just a couple more weeks and i should have the rear done as well. I get discounts thru AJE racing. I do installs as well. Lemme know if you are interested. [patriot]

you will have to go rear sump oil pan
and if you plan on doing P/S you will not be able to use a 60's ford pump due to too much pressure output.

from the looks of the kit, looks like you just move the strut in those clamps attached to the spindle to adjust ride height, right?

nice build. to those of you consider what front suspension set up to run, i reccomend TCI (total cost involved not the tranny company) they are the only ones that offer bolt in kits with lifetime warranty, and they are truely quality kits.
