It is the ubiquitous mustang 2 kit from the Fatman.

Originally I was planning to use the original equipment independant front suspension with its transverse 12 leaf spring and rotary shocks, but I wanted disc brakes and the only fellow who offered a kit for the brakes wanted $1,500 for them. For a bit more I got the mustang two and it included transverse crossmember, sway bar, brakes and rack and pinion steering.

IN the 2 miles I have been able to drive it at a maximum speed of 40 mph, the suspension and steering seems fine, but will need more castor.
