If I wanted to drive a Mustang two, I would buy a Mustang Two. I have seen a lot of independent front suspensions and they just do not make an old Ford look right. I would not buy a car that has been converted and I would not install one.

My neighbor has a 34 Ford with a Corvair front suspension and he wants to change it back to a straight axle. This was a trendy conversion in the seventies and the Mustang Two is trendy now. Trendy things just do not last and devalue the car.

Another friend has a Forty Ford with a Nova front end welded to the 40 Ford frame. He can not sell the car and he now hates the car and wishes he would have never made this dumb mistake. This was another trendy conversion.

The straight axle will never go out of style.
