    So im leaning towards keeping the stock frame and putting IFS and rear and engine trans in it. Can anyone recommend the best IFS and REAR to use with the 1950 Buick Roadmaster Convertible?

    Mustang II would be my choice, but that's me. As for a best brand, lots of good ones out there. Beautiful car by the way !

    working on the original frame is your best bet. it was designed to support the convertible . c4 is easy to find now days. crown vic is another good choice. the crown vic is likely to ride much better because of weight. stay away from mll on a car this heavy .
