    Maybe some traction bars, but that's about it. I see you're running a powerglide transmission which has a very high first gear. This means you wont have as much torque trying to twist the axle out from under the car as someone running a turbo350 or a 700r4. This will make your suspension setup a little easier to do. I say, build the car and take it for a test run down the track. If you can't hook up the rear end, start spending money on it. If it does work with stock springs and minor modifications, you just saved yourself a lot of money.

    Sense I can keep the leaf srings when I mini tub it will I have to move the springs or anything else? Also what if I put kind of like a role pan on the front were the bumper goes like a peace of sheet metal or aluminum I dont know I am thinking out loud? One more thing besides traction bars and what else? Also will a truck GM12 bolt be enough with 35 spline axles and what ever gear I deside to use or should I get some thing else?
