if you cant tuck the trunk, or cut it in half...ditch it. its going to do nothing but get in the way in a wire show IMO.

If you can't tuck trunk, ditch it. Ran mine last year, works well. Would have preferred to tuck it, but rules are rules.
The noses are strong as hell. Be smart.

anyone got pics of where they pitched theirs at? ive been staring at one of mine..... idea is to make the frame as straight as possible..... a crossmember pitch would just add another bend. im looking hard at the factory sdeam right in front of the a arms, that is where it seems to take off upwards the most, right in front of the crush boxes is slight too..... any more insight on this?

is it possibly to take a Caddy stub and get it on a 83 Buick. I don't want the la la stroy of if you you have a welder and torces and whatever else. I have everything else, and the local yard got a 80s Caddy in and I'm wondering if it'll line right up.

dont use torches... it makes for a jagged edge then your welds are tougher to hide... sawsall
