Mustang II front suspension

I would like to more accuratley depict the front suspension on the Mustang II. Any ides on where to start or what model would be a good start? Thanks, John

As you probably know, the Mustang II front suspension geometry is extremely popular as the basis for many aftermarket hot-rod IFS setups. Usually the crossmember is fabricated from rectangular steel tube and plate, and the control arms are made up of round tubing, but the geometry remains Mustang.

I recently put the FatMan Fabrications version under a 1:1 '33 Plymouth, and there's a pretty good 1/25 scale representation in the AMT Phantom Vickie kit. It has a separate crossmember the control arms locate to, and it's easily adapted to a variety of other chassis.

This is the unit swapped into a '34 Ford chassis.

Thanks for the info. I did realize the Mustang front suspension was a popular conversion, but did not know which street rod kit would have it. Thanks again for the tip. John

Isn't there a compliant about the mustang II front end over bumpsteer or anti-dive problems? Sorry if this is Off topic but sort of on

The RevellMonogram '37 Ford kits also have a very nice IFS set up.
