Torsion spring front suspension:

[Gramps46]

I am more than a little behind the times and just discovered this build.  It is very impressive.

Very realistic work on the torsion springs, a detail I have made a few futile attempts at replicating.??‍♂️

Thanks Wayne. Not that my approach is definitive but I could show how I did the front suspension if it would be useful.

J C, you add the support bars from what I call the A frame to the radiator support. Your really good at scratch building. I am enjoying your work..

[Straightliner59]

JC, this is looking great! Your fabrication is always so fine. Very nice work!

Great job JC, I really like this kind of build, your fabrication is very inspiring, your skill is obvious! ?

I don't understand how I missed this build, maybe I spend too much of my free time in one place... ?

Thanks you Francis. Your D100 Pickup Pro Street build is outstanding - I've enjoyed following the thread.

I'll liken the "crispness" of your builds JC to a perfectly folded paper airplane.  They always look just right.   cheers, tim

Picked up an AMT Longnose built up - yet another Mustang project.

Photos from eBay.

The longnose body cleaned up nicely.
