If I knew anything I would explain it, but I don't, so you will have to wait for Fatcat this evening.

Ok, all that helps. If you are going fendered, that kind of rules out the Mustang front end. It can be made to fit, but the front fenders have to be bubbled for clearance, even with tubular control arms, and the rack interferes with the splash apron. You can use a rear steer rack to eliminate the splash apron problem, and one of several kits that cost a bit more, but eliminate the fender bubble, but they are not Mustang based, and IMHO the car looks too busy from the front then. That kind of leaves a straight axle.

your choice in straight axles are tube and beam, and how much drop. I like the look of a tube axle, but the beam is more traditional, and most people use a 4" drop or so, with a reversed eye spring, it makes the car set nice. Since it's full fendered, I would use a 4 link to clear out the engine bay for more room.

If the car will be just driven locally, a 350 turbo is fine, if long distances are anticipated I would go for a 700R4 for a little more versatility.

Rearend in the 3.50 gear range, 8" or 9" Ford, 8 3/4 Mopar, or 10 bolt GM will all work. You can go with a triangulated 4 link in the rear, and use either a buggy spring, or coil over shocks for suspension. most times a 4" Z is done to the rear of the frame to get the right stance.

Tires about 25" tall in the front, 29 to 30" tall in the rear, your choice of wheels, but not over 16" rims IMHO.

That's my vision, but your's may vary with no adverse consequences.

Fendered or highboy? Traditional or high tec? What engine? How you going to use it? What's the budget? Lots of questions need to be answered to give you a good answer.

Well, we weren't totally ready to do this yet, but some problems are forcing this change. Some of you are already familiar with this software, it is real easy to use, and offers advantages over the old software. go for it.

Thanks for inviting me along guys.... as I sit her on a Sat morning with nuttin to do  

I overslept this morning, drove up to HRPP's house in an hour and a half, 130 miles,  then we left for Charlie's. I finally got home at 1130 tonight. Long day, but it was fun.

Is this the same software used on the AUBB? It looks like it.
