its been a few years but I went to the local junk yard and purchased the entire set up from under a 78 Stang and paid $75 for it. I even got the rack n pinion to use as a core for a new one along with the mc/booster. I then rebuilt the bushings,balljoints etc myself. I paid a friend to plate the side of my original chassis and put the spring towers and cross member under it with the motor mount, fabed the bracket for putting hte master cyl under the floor board and ended up with less than a thousand in it. Yes, it took some time, but hey, it was cheaper than the alternative. Would I like to use a kit.....well, maybe if I had the cash!!
OH, if you ever get one out of a scrap yard be sure to get it from a stang that had a V8 in it to get better springs!
Just info to add to the conversations guys.
