Need some suspension/chassis guidance

good advise from above posts....

IMHO....best for the money

a.) mono-leaf with Caltracs moved onto the frame rails. SS springs are designed with a lot of arch and came out in the late 60's / early 70's before tubbing and it was necessary to get the rear in the air to clear the tires......not the look you said you were after.

b) run the tubbs all the way to the 1/4...only way to get the car low with the wider tires. I found utilizing a set of trailer fenders with their curved radius can eliminate some of the patching.
