    Cool. Looking good. I am thinking about this mod on my car. So I can get some bigger handling meats under there. I might just ditch the leaf springs all together and use lower trailing arms coil overs and a pan hard bar. NOt sure yet just some ideas. Can't wait to see more keep us updated(y)

    sell it to ya'll! lol

    Seriously, I don't need a rear seat. Thats what carpet is for.

    Derrick, I figure I'll pick up at least 15 hp with those spindles, at least!

    1 bad mav, I'm keeping the leafs, just moving them inboard. Landrum Leaf, w/ Cal Tracs...Its a street car!

    Now I just need to replenish my aluminum can collection!:rofl:

    Looking Great...sounds like you know what you want and have a good plan of attaxk...with that kinda meat and suspension you should be able to put about 450 hp to the tires without much problem(y)
