I think you can If you had a set to go by. I always believe you can make anything as long as you have the matierials and the equipment to do it with. Good luck with it whatever you decide to do.

Get the book Mustang Performance Handbook 2 (i think thats what it is) it has detailed diagrams and measurments of how to build upper and lower control arms as well as many other suspension parts. I bought the book last year but have been to lazy to do anything.

Uppers are a waste of time. My brother pulls 1.33 60fts on the stock uppers.
