69' F1 build
This is my first post as a member of this forum, I just bought a 1969 F100 to make my daily driver. I bought it as a cab and frame already primed with a 04' crown vic front end swapped in and most body work done. I've already begun fixing small chips and flaws in the primer.

Let's see some pics of your '69.....
What is your approach for the rear axle since the wheel lug pattern is a mis-matched with a CV front subframe?

The T-Bird IRS rear end has rotors/hubs with a 5 x 4.25" lug pattern. The (Cobra) Mustang rear brake conversion involves the 5 x 4.5" lug pattern SN95 Cobra hubs, rear rotors and calipers --not the same parts from the regular SN95 V6 and GT Mustangs.
You could have the existing T-Bird hubs/rotors redrilled for the 5 x 4.5" lug pattern or, swap to the '99-'04 SN95 Mustang Cobra rear hubs/11.65" rotors with their corresponding Varga single piston rear calipers.
If you swap to the Cobra rear brakes, you'll have to get or make a pair of adapter brackets to mount the Cobra caliper to the T-Birds IRS suspension knuckle, since the Cobra rotor is larger than the T-Bird rotor and will locate the Cobra caliper further away from the centerline of the spindle.

So Monday i got a small blaster to use on the floor of the bed. I set it up today and after a lot of struggling(and a hose flying off the blaster) I got a sander out and got some work done. I didn't expect much from the blaster for its price, but it is beyond poorly made. So for now, I'll sand what I can and get some better parts for the blaster.
