The housing is fully braced and should be very capable of handling pretty high horsepower loads, the car also has Morrison struts. It has a very nice welded in firewall and floorpan with steel wheeltubs. Although it has been worked on at two different shops the workmanship is very good and this car would be a great race car. Mike, you as well as anybody, should know what it costs to build these cars and even if the car requires 500.00 bucks worth of work to bring it to 25.4 spec it is a bargain at 25,000 let alone any less.

I did not have a problem having bars added to the car at all and had no problem making the deal as we agreed on and dont know of any real chassis shops willing to weld tubes in and update a car for $500.00 but have no problem having it done at my cost and adding the anti-roll bar that a 2x3 car would need to leave hard and not drag the right rear on the ground doing so.
The problem is Dairld backing out on a verbal deal on sunday when he found out and thinks the vin# on the car is worth big dollars to pull more money.
read my first post its simple I said to bring your chassis guy and do cash and carry as you can not trust Dairld but his little buddys want to ride me thats fine I can handle this sh_t.
