When a guy is willing to go through that much work to make that old Plymouth handle, I'm sure there are a boat load of viable options. I suspect the vehicle from which the suspension he decided to use was chosen either because of a personal preference or it was something readily available, or it was something he knew had a market for the parts that were not used, just like the vehicle the motor chosen to come out of. Neither of his choices would have been my choice, but I don't have his "experience" with that class of race cars.
Even after all that work, it doesn't sound to me like he is going to enter the car in the races it was designed to run in and prove how well it would do. I guess that because he chose the parts and did the work, we are all suppose to believe it is a superior parts choice and design. There is no reason to actually test his theory, right?
At least he didn't just talk smack, he actually put in the work and built it. Now he needs to follow through and put it on the track. Gene

Interesting build. There is a 41 Plymouth 2 door sedan for sale locally, sorta locally that is.
But it's on an S10 chassis with a 350.
I already got a bellybutton, don't need two.
But he's open to trades and if he'll trade for my 97 Exploder I might just find myself with two bellybuttons for a time.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
