I forgot those "traction bars" were on there. Those have to go, all they are good for is binding up the suspension.

Don't forget, that steering box is new.

Just so everyone knows........Donnie is at Frame-up Wheelworks and did a lot of work on this car for the previous owner........High Quality Shop !!!!

Thinking about a 4 link in back with coil-overs.................

I think you said something along the lines of --- the brakes have been upgraded so they're good...

You're going to put in a 500+ HP motor -- and my '56 Nomad weighed 4,000 pounds....

I know you don't drive like a couple of other idiots you call friends

.... but think about following Charlie - and we're cruising up the road (no speeds mentioned here) and he puts on the binders in one of his super cars.... His stopping distance will be FAR FAR shorter than yours.... so even if you had adequate distance off his back bumper... Well, just sayin'.
