Looks like a nice one....stuff and build the hell out of whatever bumper you put on it. I just seem welded a 74 Chevy and it didn't hold up. Fun cars to drive and unbelievably tough. One issue I had....after hard mounting the front bumper it did sit a little low up front. Low enough that a new ford would clear the bumper nose to nose. That was with the a-arms welded down and the rubber stops removed. Not sure how I'll do it, but when I build another one I'm going to try to get it a little higher in the front.

Yes it's a factory tow package. The one I built for a guy I cut the frame back and slide bop brackets back into the s. welded a 74 impala bumper to the shocks and the frame rails. Frame was seam welded firewall forward. He went crazy driving forward from what I seem on a video..... Car bent at the a arms and at the firewall with a dp. It almost ruined the impala bumper.

Can some one post a wiring diagram pic for a '76. I am pretty sure it is the same as a lot of GM's, but I can't find the wiring diagram to save my life?
I yanked the dash today and obviously cut something I shouldn't have cause she is dead; so I have no choice but to rewire now before I can continue on....lol

Is there any way you guys could help me out on the fronts of these 74 rivis. We ran our first one at MM and we didnt have that great of luck with it and was wondering if I could get any pointers on them. The main problem for me is it gave bad at the cowl is their any fix to that for the next rivi I build? It will be built to MM rules if that makes a difference. Attachments:
