It appears some of you guys need to read some of the build posts for these 57-59 Mopar car builds right here in the Street Rod section.
There are a lot of guys cutting and welding frames.
This isn't the restoration section, this is about making an old car (or truck) do what you want it to do. We are not locked into the box of redoing what the factory poorly did all those years ago. We have the advantage of using modern stuff to make the old stuff better. Gene
I drove many late 50's MoPars back in the day. I actually LIKED the way they drove.
I bought a 58 2drht I was planning to clip, but after many conversations I've decided to completely rebuild the 58 stock front suspension and steering and toss a healthy big block in it. I'll see what it drives like. I'm tossing Wilwoods all around, I cant stand the 57/58 drum brakes.
I have a couple Dakotas that are nice sitting around already, if needed down the road I will chop em up, but if the car drives well I'll leave it stock!
Strange but true.....
