“I have bad reflexes. I was once run over by a car being pushed by two guys.” -Woody Allen

I was quite excited to be able to bring Iroh home for the summer. I have made the progress I was hoping to while at John's for the winter. I'll post the picture of how it looked before going to John's and how it looked back home. There was a big difference and I'm very pleased. The door was no longer tied on, I got it bolted back on with its rebuilt hinges. My plans for Iroh this summer include the 4 link rear suspension. I plan on ordering that in May so be watching for updates as I cut off the rear axle and suspension, prep and mount the new suspension and rear end.
If you are thinking about ordering a mustang II front suspension here are some things I've experienced with it. Towing it back into town, it had a much nicer ride. I had to buy longer tie rod ends than what was provided in the kit. Make sure all the parts are there when it arrives. We had to wait a while to get the shocks in, they were back ordered for a while, and we were missing the ball joint spacers. I will see where the truck settles to for a ride height. Since I order the 2" dropped spindles, if it is too low I will order the other spindles. Overall I am pleased with the mustang II front suspension from speedwaymotors.com
