that cross member under the motor is a beefy piece. if it is any more than
surface rust then total replacement is the only way to go. I am in the process, actually this afternoon, of finishing replacement the entire front end of my '71. I bought all Mustang Plus HW. GrabATrak parts. I will post in a couple days how everything went. Last night was the trip to the autoparts store to pick up a forged spring compressor. broke a cast one yesterday. damn Steves Wholesale. With all new parts, uppers and lowers, It seems I have to compress the springs an additional 1 inch to get them back in. maybe its the 1 1/8 swaybar not giving at all. I can't freaken wait to drive it. If it starts after two months of sitting. Scott > wrote in message news > hey there I am wondering what to do with my wifes 73 coupe.
