No.  You will need to either leave the springs in or install a fixed support for the control arm.

I attached a wood 4X4 under the front frame rails up by the radiator core support with a couple of casters like you put on your compressor.  It allowed me to remove all the steering & suspension for media blasting.  It was under there for almost 2 years while the all the rotten aprons, etc were patched LOL.  Your front sheet metal looks way better than mine did, based on your pics in the paint and body sub forum.

Just put the old shock back in. It will support the car, even though bottomed out, enough to roll the car

Dropped spindle AND Shelby drop??!!!
I don't know about that

If you still have to sand blast after you go through the effort to make supports for the car to roll. Is it worth the effort? How about waiting till its on the jig and do it all at once. 

If the jig is a rotisserie, you can roll the car around slowly to get most of the blast media out of it. 

 
Also may build rotisserie with left over material from my jig is not quite as beefy as some for the main body but its still pretty substantial it 14 gauge 3×2 then all id need is casters center section of material and material for Uprights  tubes for pivot and a kit from online supplier forget the name but they cnc build the main rotational assembly its like 500 bucks but its well worth it for me as I dont have all nessisary tools to take on building my own from scratch. Plus this one looks nice it uses a hub assembly with tapered roller bearings. I WOULD definitely like to be able to rotate the car around  gerting out the sand and doing other work on the car. I cant mount my car on a rotisserie yet as I have not alot of rear sheet metal to mount to lol. Rotisserie build I think is definitely in the future as I can most likely sell it after building it and getting my use out of it. I really would like to have one to make it easier to change out the floor supports and to be able to dress welds on floor pans  so I dont have to work over head. As I have horrible neck throat issues from car accident. Think crushed or damaged hyoid bone have gone in to a few ENTs and none of which have had any ideas to help me with my throat. Im to the point now where I cannot turn my head to the left at all or I have extreme neck and throat pain like being choked. Not fun. Funny thing is convincing my family into seeing the reason why I want a rotisserie.

I am guessing after you sandblast and put it on the rotisserie, every time you roll it, sand will come out of somewhere, no matter now many times you roll it and blow it out.
 

I know i dont really want sand to continually fall out of my car hey brote side to it though. Now I wont have to buy kitty litter for when my car sits in gsrage on bad day ill have something to sop up the oil mess or power steering fluid lol. When I worked in this Mustang Restoration shop. We had a 1968 fast back that had the engine compartment and the rear shock mount and trunk floor sand blasted. My ol boss told me he always sand blasts engine compartment and trunk area on most all mustangs hes ever worked on. When we had it on rotisserie the sand poured out of the floor supports.. one good thing for me is I plan on replacing my drivers side floor pan full length and also my passengers side most likely full length as it is pitting on the interior side some areas fairly heavily by where the floor meets the firewall toe panel pinchweld section. This way I can remove a good amount of the blast media. At the point of removing the floors. Im half way debating removing the inner sides of rockers and see what they look like in there. This way I can sand blast in there as well and remove all rusty crusties then wire wheel the rockers to remove all sand blast material embedded in the metal then primer the rockers. This way most my inner structure will be primered and nice and clean sealed metal. I was thinking this would be a good time to install also new subframe connectors then install front torque boxes and floor panels. Also I found at lowes a adapter to use like 1/2" ID vacuum fittings  on anything from 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 vacuum.  Then just find a tube to hook on and I can vacuum out a good majority of blast material. I know I wont ever be able to go back and not have sand in my car for life lol. But atleast my ride should be around for a few more years to come. Hopefully that is.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-AIR-TIP-1-1-4-in-2-1-2-in-Long-Reach-Flexible-Hose-Set-Wet-Dry-Shop-Vacuum-Attachment-5-Piece-49-90-2037/319238525?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=Shopping-CM-F_D25T-G-D25T-025_014_WET_DRY_VACS-MILWAUKEE-NA-NA-SMART-3047250-WF-WET_DRY_VACS&cm_mmc=Shopping-CM-F_D25T-G-D25T-025_014_WET_DRY_VACS-MILWAUKEE-NA-NA-SMART-3047250-WF-WET_DRY_VACS-71700000088116566-58700007476412630-92700067228079071&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0umSBhDrARIsAH7FCof55XfjFAxJYpcFBVpb7iHA1Q4YrHQbwjeGOemXUfnI7ObRq6s7sLUaArYMEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
