65-68's are begging for a fox length 8.8. Cut the lower arm mounts of, weld leaf perches on.

My 69 has an 8.8 from a 97 cobra, and cobra disks front and rear.

[BEARY]

How much?

X2??

This is what I plan on doing to my '66 coupe. How much longer is the 8.8 compared to what is on from factory?

'67-'70 are all the same width. 4 wheel disc brakes on those cars are very cool!

Yep, I was a bit off. 65-66 are 57.25" wide, 67 - 70 are 59.25" wide. The fox is 59.37" or some thing similar.

I used the vintage venom front kit, that gives you the built in 1" spacing needed to run the sn95 type wheel. Most guys run a 1" spacer on the rear, and since I pretty much have to run them on the front, I built it into the rear with the axle.

There are a ton of brake and rear end options now. Back in the day (mid 90's) when I did my brakes, Granada was about the only way to go, but now there are several different, better ways to go.

If/when I do mine again, I'll probably go with these that use SN95 Cobra brakes. http://www.ultrastang.com/products4.php

There are a few different ways to get an 8.8 under a classic. Most of them involve shortening one axle of an Exploder rear and welding spring perches on it. Doable, but for some reason I have a mental block on that one. Somebody like Kevin (Homealone) will tell you it's stupid simple and cheap. Maybe it is but it makes me go cross-eyed. Probably the reason that the rear is the only thing I haven't replaced on mine.

I don't like two things about that kit:

It has stamped steel brackets with a bolt and maybe even a spacer, while it may never have an issue, it could flex under hard braking.

You have to run a 17" wheel, and without a custom wheel, you need a spacer to clear the upper arm and ball joint.

other than the vinyl top hell of a nice car!

Make a note, hit me up when you move to the next project and want to sell. I've been thinking hard about getting another classic as a project and this one looks like a damn clean start.

[The Sarge]

Looks great. Selling it?

[JC316]

How the Hell do you afford all this shit... I need to come work for you.
nice car.

How? By sucking up every cheap fox body that isn't nailed down and turning an obscene profit. That's my theory anyway.

[BttleFedC10]

vinyl tops are gay!! lol

[VaderTT]

Needs stick on hood/fender vents.
