In Response To: I only see one problem with it. Mopars do not have separate front frame rails. Except for the k-member, all that flat black stuff on the front of the the chassis would be body color or primer with overspray. I only mention it because you said you're using it for reference. *NM* *PIC* ()

Specifically, if I'm remembering correctly, the inside of the engine bay and the outside of the front inner fenders was painted black, which would have also made the front subframe black too, at least on the sides and top.

        They could have just as easily painted it all body color like Mopar did. They were constructed the same way, a unibody. Not sure why Ford chose to paint their engine compartments black. *NM*
        
        The universal black was cheaper... and certain parts needed some blackout anyway *NM*
