Are the rear shackles getting close to running out of travel? Could we see a couple of pictures of the car and under hood? Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

I would install a pinion stop, snubber, and clamp the front and rear springs. The operating angle between drive shaft and pinion should be no more than 3 degrees at any time.

Car runs 10.40-50's. Wheels - 10" w/ 5.5" backspacing. That backspacing is needed to keep the sidewall from hitting the inner fender. Using Hoosier C07 Radials w/ at least 20.5 lbs of air. And wrinkle is lost ET. Photos can be found at this link along w/ other stuff. Click thru them to find the Max-Wedge shots. http://classracer.com/classforum/album.php?albumid=107&pictureid=5808 And another in car shot of a good close race. Here are the numbers: - Both cars dialed 10.47 - Reaction times - Ben .0008 Mike .0162 - Finish line - Ben 10.461 Mike 10.4704 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeH--8lLFSg

With the extension you're getting, a snubber wont help much. Even if its right against the floor static, it would be 6" away from anything once you need it.

When the springs return to their regular form that energy helps to plant the tires a few feet out. The car does look like it needs to pitch rotate a little better but overall looks like most early b body stockers. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21
