first thing is get a rule book, and decide what class you want to run in. if this is your first time then go with a stock or similar street class. using the rule book determine what mods are class legal. things like subframe connectors, roll bars, suspension mods etc. for example, if the rule book allows subframe connectors, by all mean use them. if not the replace the stock rocker panels with ones from a convertable mustang as they are stock, but stronger than the ones on a coupe or fastback. also use a coupe as they are lighter and stiffer than the fastback or convertable. if suspension mods are allowed, determine which ones. example, can you relocate the lowefront are pivot points? can you adda torque arm, and/or a panhard bar or watts links? how about using a jacobs ladder? once you know what class you are going to run, then i can give you better ideas of what you can do.
