38 chevy's are my weakness I had one and made 150 different alterations to it. One thing I'd do with out hesitation is put on a mustang front suspension. I used to take off ramps at 60mph and it stuck like it was on rails. Narrow the rear and plant some wide tires back there. I used the entire mustang 2 dash in mine. Had to narrow it a bit but realy was worth it. I'd say you picked a good one
