Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell - Shell Game



Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Brakes
The heart of the front suspension is this investment-cast steering knuckle. It is equipped with 13-inch moly-carbide rotors, which are slotted for improved performance. The two-piston calipers RRS uses on its Phase III are from PBR.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Shocks
The MacPherson-type struts used in the RRS front suspension are shown here, along with new lower control arms. The upper control arm is completely eliminated.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Front Suspension
This photo shows how the spherical mounting point looks in place on the upper end of the strut. Next, the strut assembly is inserted into the shock tower and held in position.
Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Strut Tower
With the MacPherson strut held in place from the underside, the strut attachment to the tower is completed.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Front Suspension
The strut and steering knuckle look like this once installed. The lower control arms are stock-style stampings but are boxed for reinforcement.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Brackets
The front strut rod brackets are not on the car as it comes out of the crate. Their placement is measured exactly, and then the parts are held in position with locking pliers. Here, the brackets are welded into place.
Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Tie Rods
While Couper goes to fetch the new strut rods, Robert Emery takes the opportunity to install the tie rods to the steering rack and knuckles.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Strut Rod
Couper and Emery make quick work of the strut-rod install. The rods attach at the back end to the lower control arms and adjust caster as they are moved forward or back during the alignment process.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Sway Bar
Because of its weight and awkward shape, this 1-inch-diameter antisway bar is also a two-man job. it is hoisted into place where it will be installed onto the framerails. Links on the sway-bar ends then go to the lower control arms.
Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Front Suspension
Here is the completed RRS strut suspension installation. The steering rack will attach to either a modified stock column or an aftermarket column.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Center Crossmember
Turning our attention to the rear suspension, the center crossmember is located and held in place with C-clamps. When the required holes are completed, the fasteners will be installed. The crossmember serves as the pivot point for the rear axle torque arm.		 Dynacorn Replacement Mustang Body Shell Rear Suspension Crossmember
The same exacting care is used in locating the rear-suspension crossmember. The large V-shaped structure is the mounting point for the rear-axle Watt's linkage.
