Default Another Kid from Texas and my 57 Chevy, no its not stock

I’ve been floating for a while now and I thought I should formally introduce myself so I can ask some other questions. I’m Russell Alexander from Central Texas. My family has a Little Hot Rod Shop down here. My father was focused on building cursers and comfort cars using the C4 Corvette suspensions. That was all fine and good until I build my 57 Chevy Sedan named Black Widow and decided to toss it around at an Autocross and then I was hooked, but then I decided I needed to make some changes. Sway bars, Dual adjustable shocks, Movement of the roll center on the rear end and road school for the driver. Cut some weight and now I just need to learn to drive so I can fully tune the chassis.

So My car, one 1957 Chevy 150 Sedan.
