Ed Wright.......... I never got around to making one, sold the car. I did have some ideas though. I would have tried the 90/10 style shocks or Afco's first.....

A heavy rubber snubber would be my first choice but there was not much area under one of those cars for one like found on an early F body

I lost a round at a Lucas series race from a bogus time slip due to that front end deal. Might have lost anyway but I didn't think so at the time and especially from the numbers that were on the slip.....

Also had it happen at a weekly bracket race........that nose came down way too far and fast with the shocks set loose.....The car loved it back at the starting line and so did I.......but down at the finishline it was another story...

Rich, took me twice to realize what was going on. I stacked urathane bushings on top of the shocks, they always split. I assume from hard landings. Was hoping you had made a set I could copy.

I laid under there lokking at it at least once Ed trying to come up with something......

Only thing I dreamed up was a remote push button electric controlled stripe taker.....

Now I only said I dreamed it up mind you.....

I also had one for the engine to get more air in it.... but ain't sayin a word about that one....LOL

Hows that sayin go in NASCAR "it ain't cheatin unless you get caught"

From what I have seen in Stock...there's way more serious rulebook stretching going on and it is one of the reasons I always bail out on that category......I go in thinkin one thing and soon feel like I am in over my head....
