    Looks good! I think you made a good choice. If I had to do it all over again...
     
  2. Now that is a good looking front end. I've got to get me a setup like this for my shoebox.

    Almost done. Brakes went in without any issues. Next week the tie rod setup. Then the motor and trans can go back in :D

    What is the tie rod to tire clearance with this set up?

    For me I had to use a 1/4 wheel spacer because it was touching the tire. But, the spacer did the trick.

    Wheel spacers.....hmmm. What wheel tire combo is that setup designed for?

    The tires and rims I'm using aren't original for 51 Mercury. They are a bit wider so they might work fine on originals. ??
