Well, you will have some weight to contend with. Unfortunately, people that take the classic iron, like we do, have a lot more issues to contend with. We are really rebuilding a 30 year old car. Then once that's done now we look at how much power we can throw at it. The 30 year old metal in the rear end has to be modified to maybe include a back brake, welded spring perches, new U bolts, and in order to get wide enough meats under it, maybe even shortened. Definitely has to have a 9". Boxed sub-frames, drag shocks, traction bars..and the list goes on. Before I even started on my 68, the body work, new doors (used), one new fender (used), and the rear tail lamp housing and radiator core support had to be replaced. That was over a year in the body shop.
How far along are you with that part of the restoration process?
