Ok I thought so and ya im friends with all three of them and to be up front here I can honestly say that there was nothing speacial that the rules don't cover. If u paid close attention to the top three they wer bagging the entire time till the very end. Not that I have a prob with any of the three but u gotta know urself that all a fanally is, is who can bag the longest

What would be the best choice for a front bumper for a stock Vic I can weld the bumper to the bracket and the bracket to the frame no frame welding I have a shocker rear a 74 Buick with turn sigs the stock steel bumper or I might be able to get a 79 ford front. And also do the 2-door vics bend any different then the 4-doors

derby111, I have noticed that the 2 doors like to belly harder, but I have never ran one so I cannot give the right advice to fix or stop that.
kamala, I have always bolted through the plate under the a-frames and have never had a problem with bumper height, but your desired bumper height could be different than mine depending on how high competitors are set up.

Personally if ur rules allow I would just jack ur car up pull the rubber stops out of the a arms and well them down solid.. Or if u want more height out of ur front end u can unbolt ur balljoint flip ur top a arm up and cut that piece of angle iron out and weld ur a arm down.. Our rules say no solid suspension but we do it anyway..

I cut the bump stop off the upper arm and chain through the bracket under the arm and around the arm. It works and it's easy.

Will it weaken the frame at all cutting the angle out under the a-frame?

Not really. Its just a tab ur cutting off or the perch for the upper arm. If u are real concerned about it just heat it up and beat it flat against the frame
