I might have a Lone Star manual but it's not worth anything. Very generic.

Install motor

install rear end

install upper and lower control arms, etc. No details

As for parts, if you have a body and frame that match then you can buy the "Cobra" parts from Shell Valley or Finishline. The rest of the parts can be bought at the parts stores.

I used a 8.8 from a 89 Mustang and Mustang II front suspension.
If the frame has Lone Star's old Mustang spring mounts, I would strongly suggest you cut them off and add coil over mounts. Go with adjustable coil overs on all four corners. Speedway sells the front upper and lowers control arms.
If you don't have a welder, go buy one.

I have over 1400 pictures of my car, maybe 600 of the build.

Best of luck

Email me if you want. I can send pictures to help answer your questions. Maybe.

18 years ago I started with a $20,000 budget, I stopped counting at $35,000 and guess that I spend $60,000. But I had a million dollars worth of fun.
