Mark - I have seen it done, but have never done it myself... and NO, I dont think most out there need that idea floating around. LOL I can just see too many kids with the HF torch outfit and burned up fart can car...
Many years past, before the web and Summit and Jegs where everyone could just order about anything overnight, we had to make stuff. Re-arched springs, cut springs, front suspension parts, etc. Lot of the talent is gone, just due to not having to spend the time and effort to make it. Also the trial and error... and parts are too hard to find to risk having to start over for the older stuff. When I started doing this many years ago, I had a lot more time than money. Had access to tools and junk yard parts, and played. I grew up on a farm, and we had to be able to fix stuff. Then 4x4's and drag racing came along, and Dad told me "you broke it you fix it..."
Now I dont have the time OR money!
