Nick,
I don't have any real love for the Jag rear ends, so I'm going to try to use the T-bird IRS on this frame. I would like to see some drawings of the suspension pieces to see if it will marry up to the original style pieces, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to design new pieces to fit the original style frame to the T-bird knuckles.

Alex,
Thanks for the info- I didn't realize that Cobra Restorers had CAD's for the suspension pieces, only the frame. I will check with them once I have the frame here to look at and puzzle over. This won't be a full race car- possibly a few autocross events and informal club drag racing, but mostly street driving and cruising. Possibly a few car shows, depending on how the car comes out.

Keep the thread alive and we should be able to share ideas to get these things completed in our lifetimes- I hope!

Thanks again,
Bob
