I noticed Bret and Mike from Ridetech posting on the site so I thought I'd throw this out there...

Not too long ago Fatman Fabrications listed in their catalog an "Airbar" for the 64-70 Mustangs with a listing off to the side that there were, or there would be coming soon, a kit to fit the '66-up Fairlane/Torino. Did this kit ever come to fruition? If not, any plans in the works? If not, anyone modified a Mustang kit to fit one of the mid-sizes?

I like how the Ridetech kit looks and how everything is integrated into existing mounting points. It seems like it will still allow options for exhaust routing and it has the upper arm tabs above the axle, which limit windup more than on other kits where this is not the case. Just seems like a smart package and a solid upgrade to get away from leaf springs, but keep cost reasonable.

Thanks for any help.

According to the charts the front should be able to run same arms and coilovers or shockwaves as 67-70 Mustang. We have still not had one to develop a new rear kit or even test the mustang rear kit on though.
