welcome .. good advice here from every aspect of ones build ..

Welcome to CHR.... Wow, California to Oklahoma, talk about culture shock!!! What are your plans for the build?

thank u fellas ! im still adjusting ja ja ja ! its a state were i can make enough noise with out gettin the law to give me a ticket , or get stoped to get my clearence cheked! as far as my build im startin with alot of in mind / ifs vs clip vs conversion this one gots me going nuts !! / all electric vs clasic interior / but in my head i really want a fast tail dragger with a mean sound and a mellow ride something my family will enjoy riding on weekend ,,,, the whole chasis is great but ide like disc brakes thats the first thing in mind ???? ne adviceeee PLEASEEEE BEFORE I DECIDE TO FLINTSTONE IT AND BREAK WITH MY FEET THREW THE FLOR HOLE!!!!!!

Lots of companies making IFS packages for the car, under $2K will get you disc brakes and rack and pinion steering.... IMO the weld on a clip stuff just don't cut it.... When you have good frame rails, body supports, radiator support, etc. why cut it all off and weld on some already half worn out suspension out of a car that already had 80,000 miles of use and abuse on it.???? Another consideration is resale value....the all new IFS front suspension will easily outsell some old 'maro clip welded on......

Welcome to CH. Got any pics?

ive looked into an ifs wich its the best option but its my first car and i would hate to mess it up lol thats the only reason, but if i let a shop do it they want = the amount ive paid for the parts so if i buy 3 grand in suspencion i need to fork out 3 grand to install and im not that wealthy enough to do that """ im i wrong 4 thinkin this way ???? 5k is my budget a year for the car ........
