Does this have the good a arms and spindles? Also front bumper has a nice point to it. Is it steel if so worth anything to run in a wire class

That's a vaigue question. I could be wrong but my understanding is that it is a metric gm sub frame that is also front wheel drive. So asking if it is any good really depends on what it's good against. Does it fit in your compact/midsize class. If you are referring to a full size class. IDK because I have no experience to offer because I would never run one in a full size class. And I can get them for free. And on the bumper. Are you sure the backer is not aluminum and actually not steel? Chrome covered aluminum is not typically very strong according to popular consensus. Some will disagree and Im likely wrong on the details. Just my opinion.

I was thinking on those they don't really have any kind of backing, just kind of a C shaped formed bumper skin like the 80s Dippys have.
But like stromi, I know nothing about them, only looked at one or 2 in a salvage yard.

I ran an 84 Delta 88, it had an aluminum backed rear bumper, and steel backed front bumper. Can't promise the Tornado is the same.

Being it’s front wheel drive chances are the “spindle” is a hub connected to the transaxles. So pry not what you’re looking for.
A arms....maybe??

no idea, 70s models had great spindles, shitty a arms. I'm betting bumpers suck
