itoldyouso...thanks for replying to my thread. you seem very knowledgeable about hot rods. I am currently reading a thread started by you about the car for $3000. There is alot of good info in there that will help me. However i would appriciate it if you could explain what a"straight front axle assembly with split wishbones (radius rods that run from the front axle to the frame and locate it," is. Because im not really sure. and what does "IMO" mean. also i have no idea what a T-bucket frame looks like. i plan on putting a 400 sbc in it with, hopefully, about 350hp. would the stock rear axle hold up to that or would i need to get a different one

Dave- thanks for the reply. i think im going to try and go really low with it. no rake. and the classic flat black, white walls, with red rims and baby moons. leave off the fenders and hood, and im not sure of what to do with the top yet. I would like to chop it but i dont think i have enough experience. I know how to weld and ive been doing bodywork for 5-6 years but im not sure about the whole geometry part to it.
