Chopping Out An ORIGINAL Mustang II Suspension & Replacing With SPEEDWAY'S IFS Kit- 1948 Chevy 3100

In the last video I picked up a 1948 Chevy 3100 and took it for a test drive. Needless to say there were a few problems with the suspension installation and the setup of the front airbags... The customer and I decided it would be best just to start over with a new Speedway IFS kit and make this thing right!
Started off in this one by pulling the engine and removing all the front suspension components off of the original style Mustang II suspension. After that the plasma cutter make fairly quick work removing the original cradle and engine mounts. A serious amount of grinding and patching later, I had a fresh set of frame rails to mount the new Speedway 47-54 Chevy IFS kit to!

All I can say is...
This is an Excellently Educational Video
Even if your not doing a mustang II suspension, all the basics are there as well.

You are a very good car restorer. Greetings from Germany.

This isn't restoring. it's fabricating and modifying.
