[QUOTE=gbeals]Wow - you guys are GREAT!

I think before I start putting some serious HP to this puppy, just getting her to run and drive smooth and sweet stock is my first step- but the info is great.

Well, why didn't you say so. I'm in the process of putting a handling kit on my Mach I now. I went with the Street Bandit handling kit in NPD's 2005 edition Classic Mustang catalog (P.56). It doesn't come with bushings & shackles but has almost everything else. I decided to stay away from the polyurethane bushings because I hear they squeak after a while. I figured rubber ones have been good in it all these years, I'll stick with new rubber.
But if your planning on getting one of these classic Mustangs to handle like a sports car forget it. They just can't do it. One other thing, That play in your steering wheel.... It's the steering gear, you can adjust it, you can buy a new one but you'll still have some.
