ive got the gasser bug, and my 69 will be the victim...

[surfacerust]

so ive been reading hot rod deluxe, ol school rods and few other. then i went to the track with a friend of mine to "pit crew' for him and his big block 4 speed nova.

ive always loved drag racing,and been to many local events. but have never made a pass.

i want to make my 69 lwb stepside into a gasser. its already dropped like 6 in the rear and 5 in the front. im thinking i can gut the front ifs and just put in 4wd front spring hangers and crossmembers to get the leaves. ive got a set of factory leaves. or even lift springs with a few leaves removed to make it softer.

i could really loose alot of weight dropping that junk. then gutting the front end and loosing the hood at the track.

straight axle kit from speedway with spindles an everything you need.

with the trailing arms in the rear it virtually eliminates axle wrap and wheel hop. and its already got a 12bolt. the one on the thread i looked at on here looked really good and made me want mine done even more!

im worried about the 2wd steering sector. angles of steering arms and such.

ive got a nasty 327 and built 400turbo just begging to go for a run.

think it will work? did i mention that the front end is completly wore out and needs bushings everywhere, ball joints and wheel bearings? and i would be making it 'safer' for the road? hehe


man, i want it so bad! I think Norma Jean would really dig hard man!

lets hear it kids?
