Always a little to slow to post progress, but the hot rod grocery cart has officially begun. We combed several local salvage/junk yards to find a suitable front suspension. The candidates were Mustang II (too narrow and too rare/expensive), a Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Valero, a late 80/early nineties Ford Aerostar or a 2003-2007 Ford Crown Victoria. The favorite amongst the group of guys building this monster was the Crown Vic front. The local yard (shout out to State Line Salvage in Peach Bottom, PA) was great to work with and gave us a good deal on the whole sub-frame. It is from a relatively low mileage 2006 police car from Anne Arundel County MD that was rear-ended a few years ago. Super clean. We might rebuild the calipers since they have been outside for so long, but the bulk of the suspension it ready to be bolted up to our frame.
