I might have one laying around somewhere (if I haven't traded it some time in the pas). I'll look for it.

If I remenber correctly it came with independent front suspension... It was the metal chassis...

The R&D independent front suspension looks like a "Mustang II" unit, the typical street rod setup having few actual Mustang II parts.  This one has tubular A-arms and a fabricated crossmember.  The Monogram '37 Ford kits have a very similar setup.  Both the '37 and the R&D parts are called 1/24 scale, but this shouldn't be a problem.

Not aftermarket, but take a look at AMT's Phantom Vicky from the late 90's. It can be massaged to work with the modern Revell 32 Ford series with a little work as I suspect you're trying to do.. The stance may be a little high out of the box, but can be lowered with a little work, and the parts themselves are pretty nice.

Bingo. The front suspension is independent, but the rear looks like a relatively stock '90s Mustang setup if I recall correctly...solid rear axle.

The Vickie frame also has a nice tubular center X-member. These kits can often be picked up pretty cheap.   Image result for AMT's Phantom Vicky

The Phantom Vicky will work perfectly. Thank you all for your help.

Ace a slip of the finger is no fault of the mind. That’s what old age does to you. LOL
