So how do you guys propose I get control arms, springs, spindles, hubs, rotors, calipers, steering box, idler arms, tie rods, etc., and transfer them to my fabricated frame in such a way that it preserves the GM attachment point dimensions, other than bt hacking up an Astro frame?
What I'm seeing is the same IFS used on S-10s, Monte Carlos, and Malibus, which the circle track guys love, in a unit that I can get without power tools that the salvage yards don't allow anyway.
What I have in mind is either cutting away Astro subframe until the remnant snugly fits my fabricated frame, or at least having the Astro subframe for measuring where to locate fabricated brackets.
Worst case scenario, I buy a new stick of steel and go conventional / traditional T- bucket suspension.
But hiw do you think the Mustang 2 / Pinto adaptation originally got started? Theres a helluva lot more '85-'05 Astros and '82-'04 S-10s in salvage yards now than '74-'78 Pintos and Mustang 2s.
