Hey Dcarr.I trust my work as far as welding and strength.My concern was the car not going straight.Never fooled with ladder bars before.I actually expect the car to slow down.Got such a big tire under it now.33 x 16 compared to the 28 x 9 I used to run.Don't know how bad that's gonna hurt me.People used to look at me funny when I was running 6.90s at 99 mph.Bone stock 1948 suspensoin,original bushings.Kingpins are good but 1/4 turn of slack in steering wheel makes for the occasoinal "pucker".and running the ORIGINAL single pot master cylinder.Finally blew the rear seal on the m/c and upgraded to a wilwood.Haven't had a good pedal since.It's fun the fly with junk :lol:
