Today at Alf's Mustang Garage, we continue on our 66 Mustang Fastback 289 conversion by installing the front coil springs and control arms. We also perform the "Shelby Drop" on the upper control arms. The Shelby Drop is not a requirement but just an added benefit to help improve the handling capabilities of the car.
