A legal Super Stock back half is way different from a generic back half. As Rory states, it needs to be mostly not only steel but also mostly original floorpan. Any suspension retrofit need to be contained under the original floor, a work around on that is that it can be contained inside the new steel tubs. Way more complicated than a generic back half. On the other hand, I have seen some massively illegal back halves hiding under carpeting and no one is saying anything.
