Reply #1 – September 13, 2006, 12:05:18 AM It is a Fox chassis....Mustang parts front and rear.I have an 80 Z-7 (the Mercury version of the Futura) I'm going to be looking ot get rid of. It will be a roller. Could use a door and a fender (I have) and some other misc body work, but the platform is solid with little rust underneath, and what there is is only surface. Quote Selected
