Scott, welcome to Mopar's version of the crazy uncle in the basement!
F's make great bracket cars. Turns out they make good Stockers and S/S race cars too.
Get ready for the following:
1-"What year is your Nova?"
(snuck into Super Chevy with one, told 'em it was a "Canadian Nova")
2-"Those things are tanks!"
(my all steel wagon, factory glass weighs 3180# w/o driver)
3-"Worst car EVER built"
(right....and 35 years later, they're STILL around)
I always listen to what Raff says, he's a smart guy,
but, in the interest of cost savings ya might "get by" with the stock front end.
However ,the rubber doohickeys holding it to the frame will hafta go.
I believe somebody sells solid replacements
