Well you jinxed me Bob...You can do it already proven Buddy
Came out this morning to bolt the shocks on and realized I never tried them with the calipers installed, the parking brake mechanism is in the way.
Sawzall the old mount off..
And come up with a new plan.
Everything is painted and I'll try again tomorrow to get the rear end buttoned up.

I dug the 54 out yesterday and started taking it apart and looking at the wiring mess.
I'll get pictures soon of the 54 Bob , I only had these of the 59 on my phone/picture taking machine.

This morning I'm waiting for a torque converter, transmission oil pan and filter all tied up in some mystery shipping black hole...
So I guess I'll start trying to figure out how to get some front brakes.. because I set my track width with the narrower mustang 2 9" front rotors I can't use the redly available Granada 11-in rotors, in the interest of doing this on the cheap and not spending $2000.00 for the aftermarket billet front brakes I decided to make my own 11" rotors from some 9" mustang ii rotors.
Step one find some random pieces of wood and get the Kelsey Hayes style calipers in the approximate location.
Take some measurements and make a sample bracket..
Test fit sample bracket and start coming up with the plan to make a permanent bracket..
To be continued......
