^^^^^^^^^^ Bent at the holes in front of the a-arms I presume? no it stayed dead straight there, we used about 8" of chrysler shocks and bent right behind them, it went real well for our first caddy build but we learned alot... |

I remember someone saying it would bend like that when they were dropping off its older brother and ugly cousin  hahaha |

flatter bumper would probably change that outcome....pointy is like a big crowbar at the end of the frame

True story right there^^^^
I can say that I ran a 74 earlier this year without anything significant done in front of the a-arms, it did have a pointy on it, and it bent at the firewall and was perfectly straight in front of the a-arms. I fully expected it to go at the bend in the frame up front or at the holes in front of the a-arms and it didn't. It was a "stock" build though, no protectors so the firewall was cut out.

all depends on how much you tilt it.

took 4th somehow broke the rad and got hot and wouldnt refire.    gave it all i had WFO but with a slightly built 350 not a lot of power to do a lot of damage. Talked to a few afterwards and no one wanted to nose with me lol everyone turned and gave me a door lol. Was a blast running with friends deff is a fun car and a MF'er to turn around! |
