Snake,
I recently purchased the upper control arms directly from Heidts. They do not come finished so I asked that they ship them unassembled. No problem. I had them powdercoated then assembled with the aid of my friend who has a beefy 100 ton press. The bushings can be worked into position with some deburring and greese, a soft blow hammer and vise with some creative engineering. The ball joints press in and that is where the 100 ton press became useful. Only got it up to 15-20 tons though. The C-Clamp type press kit you get from Auto Zone will not get it done.

Go to their website and search Mustang II. You should find all the info you need.

Upper Control Arms- CA-101
$300
Powdercoating
$100

I did not replace my existing tubular lower control arms with strut rods.

John
