i dont know how to post pics on here but all you do is jack the suspension up to where you want it and then weld the chain to the a arm and to the frame. the chain keeps the suspension held where you want it if you must have bounce just leave the chain a little loose.

What would be a good steel front inner wheel well that I can put in my 72 olds? I found a 70 delta 4 door with metal inner fenders. Pain to put in. We will see how they work next year.

After several years of being out of the game, I am getting back into it. Picked up a 73 Lesabre with a 455 big block for nothing (just haul it off) and an 89 Dodge d250 that had no motor or trans. 73 runs great, looking for some extras to do to it, per my rules in utah of course. Put a 87 351 HO and trans into the dodge and runs pretty good. Obvious stuff i need to do to both motors, but you guys have any additional input? Thanks

These seem like a pretty straight forward build, picked up a 73 olds 88. My understanding so far and build plan is Tuck trunk with 76 Malibu rear bumper Hard nose with mopar flat with ten inch plate Weld aarms down run olds clip no inner fenders Rear end will be changed to dana 60 8 lug
Ima try to take this to a stirring dirt show in utah with my cousin

What's the deal with the pontiac front clips? Just the core support is not desired? Made a deal to grab a catalina (looks like a 72/3 to me) I have a 73 olds 88 already. I assume these 2 will be very very similar

I assume these 2 will be very very similar The core supports are just crappy to some people because the way they are designed. A lot of people run them, and a lot of people change them. There are options out there to change them.
