I know everyone says pre 70 gms are junk but I picked up a 67 Catalina for cheap enough. I was just wondering if anyone has ran one and has pictures. It has a box frame up front so I figured it'd be alright to go have fun in

Build it. Won’t be too disappointed. Ran a 65 and 66 olds which are pretty much the same car.

That's good to hear. it will be getting built to a super stock class. Cage with 4 down tubes, seam weld firewall forward, replace all body mounts, hardnose front bumper. I know I wont stand a chance against what else will be out there but I figured it would accomplish what I want it to do. By the way, what would be a good front bumper to run. I'm assuming I dont want something too hard. We're allowed to make one out of square tubing but I'm afraid that would be too much for it

That’s way more then I could do. Sean welding will help it out obviously. This car had a fully loaded bumper on it and it held it fine. It bent in one place after 2 good runs. It only bent because I hit a concrete barrier going about 20... message me if you have any questions.  |

I've ran against one and it seemed to hold up good in semi stock.

Does the hole in the door go all the way to the seat I want to say it was pretty close to going all the way through. I have a 2x6 on end as my door bar, but not sure on the placement of it |
