    theres nothing wrong with leaf springs but they have to be set up correctly to control wheel hop. there are a lot of fast cars that run fine on rear leafs. you could look at extending your traction bars length to meet up right under the front spring eye to take full advantage of it.

    Yea I think I need it. I wasn't planing on buying rearend parts when I'm getting the bucks up fo the glass. Lets see Go fast and streight Go bouncing but have glass????? No I gave up figuring I'd drive this (leagely) on the street or track this year. Just got the wiring all laidout. Got the interior to work on. Geez you'd think I was doing my first car. Maybe I'm getting older/slower/more cautious. Anyway
    Thanks DennyW for the info.
