Default IFS identification ?

Does anyone recognize this IFS? Or does this look to be 'pieced' together? The PO has no idea.

Thanks

Looks like a "Fat Man" or "Jim Meyer" conversion front end.

It also looks a little bit like the old TCI IFS kit that was sold a number of years ago because their kit was various components needing to be welded separately as opposed to the later one-piece crossmember versions I've seen from Jim Meyer Racing.

Thanks for the replies.

I did call 'Fatman' and sent them these photo's. The guy I spoke with
said it wasn't theirs except possibly the crossmember.

I have spent a couple of hours 'googling' under different titles and have not come up with a match.

I do think it is an older version IFS in comparing it to all of the photo's of the most recent products seen online

I may replace my existing frame (rust issues) and this frame is very reasonably priced but am hesitant because of the unknown. I was also planning to add a IFS at some point in the future so this would 'kill 2 birds with 1 stone' so to speak

Thanks

It looks very similar to this Mustang II front end kit offered by Speedway Motors...
