What would you recommend using for final KPI to do the initial design? A lot of the Cobra guys use 7* caster, I was using that for a starting point. What would you recommend?

Here is what I was able to come up with. I don't think that the scrub radius is large enough. I'm going to check around tonight to see if I can find some wheels with different O/S. If I can find what I'm looking for, all of this will change. BTW, did I calculate the Ackerman correctly?

Caster = 7* Camber = -0.5* Camber Gain (+3" vertical) = -4.5* (gained) Camber Gain (-3" vertical) = +2.2* (lost) KPI spindle = 11* KPI installed = 11.5* Scrub radius = 1.7" The spindles I'm basing this design on are Mustang II with 2" drop. I've seen some others out there but don't have...

Ranger Mike - did you see anything from the attachments that I need to revise or am I on the right track? Let me know if I need to provide more info.

OK, I'll give it a shot. My original goal with this car was to do a vintage racer. After I got to looking in depth, both rear frame rails are completely rusted through. So my mind got to churning if those are shot, what other structural issues am I going to run into on this car. So I started...

Hey Ranger Mike, I'm in the very early stages of design of converting my 65 mustang from a unibody to a full frame car "pro-touring" car. I want the car to be capable of street and track use. Using some of the guidelines you've talked about in this thread, I have gone through several iterations...
