One of the next things I did was sand down the undercar and put Maier Racing subframe connectors on that drastically stiffened up the car. After I had the floor all sanded down i pulled the tranny and put a rebuilt top-loader 4speed in with a hurst super shifter. I also painted the drive shaft then painted the under car.
Inside the front fenders i welded in a piece of metal to strengthen up the front of the car. I jacked the car up and would notice the front of the car flexing a lot. The second picture is by the cowl and the firewall. Just another way to stiffin up the car. They were both really easy to do, free besides the metal and worked out well.
Awhile ago i put new rear suspension in. I put new leaf springs from Maier Racing and Bilstein shocks in as well as new spring plates and the car handled drastically better then it had before. Once I had the springs and shocks all dialed in a buddy of mine helped me put in a Panhard rod kit from Maiers as well. I didnt want to dump the exhaust because I have been told that it can be apian with the exhaust coming back into the car so we rerouted the exhaust around the Prod. The drivers side was not difficult to do but the passenger side took some time but once it was all in it looked and worked out really well. Tok us about 6 hours to do including all the exhaust work.
I have been auto crossing my grandpas 1965 C Prepared shelby for almost three years but due to engine issues (cracked head) we havent been able to run it for awhile so I took my car aout this weekend for the first time and was more then pleased with the results. I will post a video of the run tomorrow.

Cool. I'm envious. Nothing beats getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor on the track.
