    Front end advice

     



    What is a good front suspention to put under my 51 dodge business coupe? I'm leaning toward the Camaro, can't afford a aftermarket. Under cowl the frame is about 37 in wide. I will do a 4 bar with panhard and coil overs on the rear, I'd like something that handles good, disc brks, etc. I don't like the S10's. I wish I could find some build threads on these cars but apparently there is not a whole lot of them out there.

    I'm thinkin' that a body section job is probably the toughest mod to carry out successfully on a car. Frame swap or clip swap would be the next hardest. There are very few who can pull it off and make an improvement in the way the car runs and handles. On this car, an S10 swap would make sense in my opinion. I wrote this wiki article several years ago. You may find it helpful......
