Looks way better than any mopar rear I have had. Mine always blow to hell set up the same way... wonder what I am Fing up. Seems like I only get one side to back and the other side bends weird.

looks like it did very well. I would consider trying to get it to roll again at the halfway point, if you can do that you'll have it in a seriously tight ball

75 grand fury. rear frame is in good shape...subframe to rear frame connectors, but the rear floor pans are bad (really bad)....going to stuff the humps, canoe and maybe chain the humps...try and keep it straight...
any thoughts on this???
also should i put the rear bumper on the front. and front on the back? or is the front bumper strong enough?

if you add in frame connectors then the floor pan rust won't matter much at all. A "gas tank protector" would be the cherry on top of that plan. I would leave the bumpers the way they are.

Any preference on which is the best height to run a 65 Imperial trunk? A little low, level or a little high? Thanks

Thanks One rule in particular stands out.....if you can weld the body to the frame, would make every difference in how I set the back up. Number of redi rods through the trunk and or extra body mounts would be another.

Rules say no allthread to the frame but i can take out body mounts and use bigger bolts and washers. And can't weld body to frame. Rules say 1 inch strap to weld trunk seams but have to have a 1 inch gap every 8 inches, which i don't think will make it weaker with as many patches as i would have. And would it benefit me to climb in trunk and weld seams from bottom or is it a waste of time?

On an imp, no need to weld inside seams on the trunk. Watched a 65 imp do alot if damage with the back end at a bolt/chain show. The back end of a full frame imp is still tough.

The back end of a full frame imp is still tough. a lot of people have forgot about what derby used to look like. Back in olden times when everything was built last night, it was all bout who had a 64-66 Imperial and who didn't.
