hardnose, tuck the trunk notch and pray pray pray lol

Coil springs out of a F150, and I heard the chevy 3/4 ton leafs might work. Heard they will and heard they won't idk, were gonna try it on our 84 Delta 88, and remove the rubber pucks under the a arm, jack the car up in the front so the tire is barely off the ground and than weld a chain from the a arm to the side of the frame or the spring bucket. Keeps the front stiff and high

we have used suburban leafs and roundback leafs under ours and they worked great

hardnose a decent but not too hard bumper, get the front as high as allowed, rear locked up if you can also, and double notch and pre bend the rear, i personally run a bumper on the rear just to try to keep frame rails straight.. some do not personal choice.. make sure you cut the firewall for distributor clearance. most of mine have either bellied under the doors or bent in the S in the front frame rail really bad.. never had one go down built the way i described.

pitch it right. Put a pointy on it. Flat stack it with leafs and run the heck out of it.

bone stock chain and bolt class......everything went right finished 2nd against old iron lost rearend is what took me out exploded the carrier

here it is before 2nd run


here it is fresh lost axle in heat few bad choices led to a exposed axle made me mad if i woulda sat and waited a few more seconds probly would made feature but i decided 2 track shot a dead car and left rear exposed to the only one left on the track moving and he took a track shot on my axle.....ended my day as it was a c clip

my dad helped me alot with this car was 19 when i built it im just about 24 now.....i lost my dad in april at 51 i was very close with him and think about him everyday.....im putting a mri in a a hospital right now and it smells like it did when my dad was in hospital and just bothered me all day

form my experience with the ones i ran they like to tare the center body mount out under the door post i like to cold tilt there and that seems to help keep the mount ahead of the hump from dropping to some nine wire to the frame helps too beat the humps in and hard nose get creative with the bumper shocks and the front frame and it will help it around the idler arm hole

[chevpower90]

this is the last gm i ran a 86 caddy car was nice unil i pulled the body. In the left rear frame rail a mouse built a nest in it at one time and it rotted from the inside out

hit square with the rear i had one go down that was double notched before

HEY LISTEN, ALL YOU GUYS WANTING TO RUN THESE CARS, DON'T LET THE REARENDS GOING DOWN DETOUR YOU AWAY FROM THESE CARS. THEY'RE REALLY VERY TOUGH CARS FROM FIRE WALL FORWARD. YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THESE CARS, DO ALOT OF PREP WORK, ESPECIALLY THE REAR QUARTERS & TRUNK AREA. REDO ALL BODY MOUNTS & #9 WIRE THE SIDE FRAME RAILS TO THE BODY IN NUMERIOUS PLACES TO KEEP FROM BELLYING. THESE CARS CAN BE VERY COMETITIVE AGAINST OLD IRON & THE FORDS OF TODAY. BESIDES THEY ARE PLENTIFUL OUT THERE & CAN BE BOUGHT FOR CHEAP.
