Rats.....

I went to pick up the front spindles last night and it was a newer mustang with front struts instead of the Mustang II type with upper and lower control arms like I need. Guess I'll just have to man up and go the the local wrecking yard.

Waffling - again... and gathering parts

I am leaning back toward building a two seat tandem design. Glad I'm not actually cutting any metal yet and don't plan to until I have the basic parts gathered up. Yesterday I received a rack & pinion off of a 1976 914 Porsche I purchased off of Ebay. I sniped it for a great deal (I love doing that!) and am happy with its condition. I have located the front suspension off of a mid 80's Mustang at a local wrecking yard that I hope to pick up next week some time. I will be using the front spindles, calipers & rotors. I am still looking for wheels, parts for the rear swing arm, and another caliper and rotor for the rear wheel. I will also need to gather up some misc hardware parts and a couple of adjustable shock absorbers. I think at that point I would be ready to buy some tubing and put the chassis together. Seems like I usually start these projects too soon and stall out waiting for the $$ to buy parts. I am hoping this time that buying parts first will help me to finish this project.
