Awesome video! This helps the process make so much more sense to me so when I do this same kit on my 70’ Torino I have these videos to reference

Killer episode, I can't wait to see the thing handle!

[@silviuilie5576]

[@craigchamberlain6263]

Great video, thanks for putting this together. Just wondering why you didn't use the AJE full Colt 65 kit with A-arms and Coil overs?

[@diablocustomschoker2058]

👍Thank you very much friend, I will be watching you. I had my doubts in my project and you gave me a clear vision of what I have to do #DIABLOCUSTOMSCHOKER✌️

[@toyshopfab]

Awesome video man, keep them coming!!

[@rustyjunk9008]

Love this build. Is that a stock sn95 k-member? Nevermind, read other comments. Killer vids, thanks!

[@loneymotorsports1753]

Glad i came across this video. Makes me want to pull my 68 coupe from under the tap and start on this conversion. Can you give us a link to the parts??

[@FollowTheBuilds]

You should start! So I list most of the parts in part 3 and part 4. I do have a revision vid on the tie rod ends coming up...I incorrectly use stock fox body tie rod ends when I should have used a bolt through set (more to come on this). kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJS4gmOYjpJrobc

[@nasty2ndgenneon]

Was this a actual kit? Or did you look stuff up on google? Iv been wanting to do my maverick but wasn’t sure if I wanted mustang II or not until I found this bad boy 💪🏼

[@FollowTheBuilds]

This is a mix of parts from SN95 suspension. I list the parts in the subsequent videos. Check out AJE Colt 65 Classic Fords Facebook group. Tons a great info…and Mavericks! I love this set up.

Nice job 👍 I’m starting swap coyote motor for my 67 mustang

[@georgefrederiksen4298]

How is the swap going. Thinking about coyote swapping a 69

[@tmmustang8238]

@@georgefrederiksen4298 well I’m working on install setup the controls pack swap coyote I’m don’t understand the code CPP-BT meaning

[@SpeedyBoyy]

are you using the same suspension ? "Mustang AJE Suspension Front Suspension Kit" if yes, I thought you have to remove the shock towers ? in this video, he didnt.

[@tmmustang8238]

@@SpeedyBoyy I used Mercury Mustang II suspension and I already removed the shock tower and I’m installing 2014 boss engine on it

[@grade-aland2388]

I’ve got a running 96 cobra drivetrain, I just wonder if I could just swap in that stock k member and use the new style suspension, cut what I don’t need from the 67.

[@FollowTheBuilds]

You could use the 96 drivetrain…you can use the front suspension but I would recommend using fox coil overs. Sounds like a fun build!

[@micks209]

Debating if I want to go this route or DSE alumaframe on my 70 Mach 1

[@MountainValleySpringWater]

Same but the DSE is much pricier 😅

[@grgautomotive6313]

What k member is that. I haven't found anything describing the kit you used or parts used.

[@FollowTheBuilds]

Hey there. The K member is AJE part number MU-92UM. I describe the other parts I use in the subsequent vids. I’ve added the parts in the description.

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

Did you use the drop spindles? It looks low considering no engine in the car?

[@FollowTheBuilds]

Yes 2” SN95 drop spindles. They are at the lowest setting still with quite a bit of travel. Hope to upload an update soon with more details.

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

@@FollowTheBuilds thanks so much, I saw in a later episode you called out the 2” drop. Can’t wait to see when you get everything completed ✅ thanks for the videos they are a big help!

[@SpeedyBoyy]

So you cant put a coyote motor right ? because you need to remove the shock tower correct ? I am trying to do a coyote swap on my 1965 mustang and I was looking at "Mustang AJE Suspension Front Suspension Kit" but I see that you trimp the schock towers. can you still fit a coyote?

[@FollowTheBuilds]

You can fit a Coyote with the shock towers notched. 28.5” clearance is required. I got 29” so…so it’s close! Another option is to make the front radiator support removable…that way you can slide the drivetrain vs lower it in.

[@geniferteal4178]

I know there's a lot of ways to do this and they're all probably fine. Wondering why you chose to keep the shock Tower at all when there are so many ways to completely eliminate it?

[@FollowTheBuilds]

Great question and something I wrestled with. Finally landed on McPherson SN95 set up as modern mustang has. It retains the shock tower. I love the adjustability of it all and the ability to lock it down once in spec. The mustang II front end is proven and a great option I just went this route.

[@geniferteal4178]

@@FollowTheBuilds I have a falcon with similar chassis that will get moded some day. I like the electric steering. I'll probably look for a lower profile suspension. Lot's of good work here.

[@masoncooper103]

How many hours in the job?

[@johnloveland8165]

Can you use a stock k member

[@jsimmonstx]

You really gotta work on matching audio levels between segments.

[@SWResto]

Video would be 1000% better if you tone down the music!! I have hearing aids and it kills my ears in your up and down volume levels!!!!!

[@FollowTheBuilds]

Really appreciate this feedback. Definitely learning curve for me and the audio.

[@stevencaskey9440]

The music is horrendous and way to loud. Makes the video unbearable to watch unless you mute the video and put on subtitles. The entire video would of been much better simply without the music.

[@Roger-io5ks]

Why in the world would anyone buy a classic car then ruin it with up grades ? 😢 just buy a new one !!

[@leehouston5436]

Because you get the best from both worlds. A classic with modern suspension and much better performance and design
