    There's a bunch of good used one's around for sale at some very right prices, Kurt! Hard tails are the most common and go at the lowest prices, generally. But with the tracks we have to run on on a weekly basis a suspended one is better because of the ability to tune in the chassis. Hard tails tend to buzz the tires a bit once you get out a ways. If I do one it will be a 4 link with double adjustable coilovers.... and maybe even the electrics with a control box so you can soften up the rear end at about 300' to keep it hooked all the way through. Tough to get things dialed in when the tires spin....

    Nice project but if I were wishing, it would be for a shop the size of his.

    This car was converted to a Three Link and a Alky 565 swapped in:







    It bounced hard in the shutdown and now it is as smooth as silk.

    Most "fans think" they can just walk up to cars like this and drive.Truth is it takes time and experience to run 7.90's.Yepper bring the bank!!!.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
