I go right to the core support mount with my boss. Not allowed to shorten and move core support with my rules so that's where I do it

I go right to the core support mount with my boss. Not allowed to shorten and move core support with my rules so that's where I do it X2 So basically just hard-nosed the bumper right to the front of the frame there then is the general idea on these wagons...ik on the Lincoln's there's a bit of frame that sticks out we always cut them back to core support mount and I know these are basically already there so wasn't sure if guys were moving it back some or just hard nosing it right there....and I'm still undecided what to do with the rear I can leaf it so I'm definitely wanting to do that but what would be the trunk floor is totally gone so what would be the best way to build this ass end leave it coiled and build it to pack in or leaf it? Either way it can be sedagoned

If you can leaf. Leaf it pre bend roof, pillars, quarters and the main thing on a wagon is to keep body on the frame don't slam it to the ground.

Depending on your rules you can. If your allowed big plates and good sized body mount bolts and 9 wire and all that you'd be alright, but like I said keeping body on the frame is the battle

Well it's going to be a mod car but mod rules are not to crazy though mainly re seam weld frame seams and can do motor and rearend swaps and bolt body to frame and allowed 4 plates and bumper straps and two 1" kickers if you don't run a DP

Would a 74 wagon be worth running if you can’t change body bolts swap to leafs or run hump plates? Can crease fenders notch frame and beat outside of humps in. No sedagons. The rules will be fine for the front end this is just my first wagon and I’m worried about the rear plowing with this set of rules.
