sweet vid steve!!!!!
it does look like you need to stiffen up the front springs though...it looked good through the corners but it woulnt hurt to be a bit more level.

I agree.. 450s in there now.. thinking 525.

On Sunday the Air Ride guys upped the comp and rebound which make the car much better. Even with the body leaned over the tires stayed on the pavement, I'm sure most of that reason is the no-bind deal with the three link.

More front tire will help also.

Steve, great video! Thanks for throwing in a few pics of the Fairlane. I was going to introduce myself , but you were pretty busy , your car looks real good on the track.

Would raising the watts link up one notch help w/body roll? What about a rear swaybar? I have the LD 3-link on my 69 Camaro as well (not running yet) and I'm debating on installing a rear bar. I shot Mark an email awhile ago inquiring about a rear bar for his set up and haven't gotten a response yet. Do you know if there is a rear bar assembly that will work w/3-link?

Thanks..

do you have a adjustable splined type front sway bar? so you could bmake the bar rate harder? cause i seen car perform great with the whole soft spring/big bar set-up.

didnt you go down in spring rate after the accident?
im installing 700# in my car right now... but then again ive got a iron block sbc...

Nice cars out there and great job Steve. I wish I could have gone. That is a lame autocross track though. I take it, it was not a N.A.S.A or a S.C.C.A track? More of a weekend proving ground? Still cool to see all those muscle cars on the track. Come up on the 3rd weekend of May to the Duel at DeAnza.

So it's becoming true the 18x12 are too big for the rears, smaller rims here I come,

That is what it is all about. Great video and pics.
