Nose job

in general I agree with this - but my car has no inner fender wells and the 12pt roll cage is tied to the front rails AND I am still running the original K-frame with all the associated MaMopar pieces, including the torsion bars. The previous owner was running the car in the 1/8th, with NOS in under 7 sec... some launches were wheels UP - all good.

Yeah i'm not knocking a setup like that, Just certainly an opportunity to explore other options. Especially if going as far as incorporating a tube chassis, but i assume he just means a cage. For me personally I wouldn't go that far w/o going to coil overs, but nothing wrong with the mopar faithful keeping factory suspension or steering i suppose if everything is in working order. In my experience by the time the car makes the transition to chassis upgrades here and there...the 40 year old bars,A-arms, and steering has its slop and shakes that also needs tending to. From someone that runs low 10's in a leaf spring dart, with a caged and tied car...My torsion bars and stock suspension couldn't get replaced fast enough. Now had i rebuilt the entire front end, and replaced the steering box, etc... i'm sure i could have at least got it to handle as good as any worn out chevy" lol...so the quote goes :)
