73 Mustang Suspension

[GirlPowerGarage]

Someone wants to donate my company a 73 mustang. If its in good shape, I check it out in a few hours, I will take it. We need a practice car to work on and free is great. My question is what kind of suspension I would need to consider if I plan on making it track capable. I understand the pros and cons of restoring an old car for track use, but its more the experience and practice. That said, I have no idea where to start my research. Thank you.

Take a look at www.mustangsplus.com - they are a parts and restoration place for Mustangs and they do lots of track-day stuff. Should be able to set you up with both original-style rebuild parts and performance stuff. Their catalog also includes quite a few how-to articles on installing their products and improving different aspects of the car, like handling, braking, and power.

I'm restomodding my own 71 mustang. Not sure if you've discovered this site yet so I posted this link.

I'm a member of the 7173 Mustang Forum. "71 Custom Widebody kit from scratch" is my build thread. Lots of knowledgeable people to help with any build. Good luck.

Please give me a call, I have built many many Mustangs for racing, pro touring and such. There are several levels of suspension and brake systems you can use depending on the build.
