Off course I WANT) in the future the brakes AND the steering need to be good enough.
Thanks for the input! |
Sounds like you are on the right track. It's important to have a goal in mind and to stick to that goal. It sounds like the main thing you want is a solid and fun driver that performs and allows for a bit of future growth. Well....I've had that car AND I'm driving that car. My red 67 "The Bucket" had the setup I mentioned and and the ATS spindles. It also had aluminum bushings in the rear. It was powered by a decent SB350 and had a T-56 6 speed behind it. I LOVED driving that car and a lot of guys that came to visit said it was a build level that would more than satisfy them. Of course we all want more. LoL Right now I am storing my buddy Jeff's cars (JWcarguy) while he builds a shop. Of course the car has to be taken out and driven every now and then for "safety reasons".
Jeff brake and suspension setup is a lot like what I had though he has the addition of the Hotchkis TVS kit in the rear. It also has a built L76 that's pushing 560hp. It's just silly fun. Honestly, if I where to build one that I would drive to and from work (and the weather is nice enough here that I could), it would have this suspension setup in it.
Looking forward to seeing what you do.
Jeff's 68 is the blue one on the right.
This was "The Bucket".
