4wd Mustang thoughts?

So, Heres my latest idea. I have a 96 V6 Mustang and a 86 Bronco with a 351 HO 4 brl carb. I measured the wheelbase. The Bronco is 105in. and the Mustang is 100in. The Borncos chassis is in great shape. The body in the back is shot. The back window was bronken about 5 years ago and the guy just drove it like that. It was cardboarded up but water still gets inside. My thoughts would be to scrap the Bronco body and put the Stangs body on the Broncos chassis. Has anyone ever seen one? Good idea? Bad idea? Or just plain bad to the bone?

I have seen everything from camaros to fieros put on 4x4 chassis... It can be done, just how you want it to turn out. Most of the guys who do this just square tube it until you get enough wheel well clearance. That way you really dont have to worry about wheel base. If your trying to run it on the road, there is a lot more massaging that needs to be done.

I have seen 2, both were done well and were Bad Ass!!, one guy lives up in Gamber, surprised you have not seen him. the other guy is from the eastern shore Va., the one in Gamber was a 95 vert done up, the one on the Shore, is a 98 Hard top.

would definitely be a head turner.

I think this will be my winter project. Anyone wanna join me in this adventure?

Wht class would that be in??? Modified? Truck? SN95? ? ? lol

Not sure what fab tools you have, but I have mig welder, plasma cutter, chops saws and such...

That is going to be one nice project

You know its funny, about a year or so ago someone posted up picks of 4x4 mustangs and almost everyone hated them, "why would you do that to a Mustang" I think its a cool as all get out idea, but I still remember that thread, I'll have to find it, but here are some pics

I still not my cup of tea.. and would not do that to my mustang, just because I like to go fast...

However there is always interest in fab skills

All.....? Now lets get to work .

I have everything I need to do some fab work. Maybe we should do a tech day on this. lol We could get a lot of work done in a day with a bunch of people! Atleast get the body off and out of the way.

Set the date Bob, This is a better season for Beers/Bonfires than July 4th. LOL

I hear a far off ghost voice saying " if you build it, we will laugh and drink and laugh some more".
