Alan,
Here's a picture of Tucker driving Ronny Traffanstedt's 65 Chevelle wagon. He also drove a white 66 Chevelle wagon that also had the "Revenge" name on it. I'm pretty sure that he also drove another 65 Chevelle wagon at Blaney, SC in 76. I'm thinking that it was white with red and blue trim.

Boy, that's a great photo-notice the slick is all wrinkled, but the nose hasn't lifted yet-talk about the shutter opening at exactly the right moment to get that view!!

Mark Faul runs the wishbone Wieb upper control arm also ,do not no if he has had a problem with tech?

There are lots of those systems out there, there were even a few at earlville besides kevin, no one else had a problem, but what i heard, there could be a problem in the future, if you see a tech man with a mirror or knee pads walking around staging, you probably know what their doing

You dont have to have the trickest rear suspension on a coil spring car to make it work anyway, the main thing is to keep your rear lower control arms parallel and not work against each other. That is where the twist comes from, its no different than a four link type of rear suspension which most people use with an anti roll bar. This can be achieved on a chevelle or any other coil spring car by tying the lower control arms together, which were 1 5/8 .083 chromolly, with tubing. It looks like a thicker sway bar, to keep them moving at the same time and in the same direction. I also tied that bar into the front of the rear lower control arms, creating the wishbone, and no air bags. My A/SA chevelle I was running passed tech at Indy with Tech guys under it for an hour in 99 but maybe the rules have changed since then.

I've had the tech guys lay under the back of my Chevelle for about 14 minutes once at tech, but was told then that as long as it could just be unbolted and drop out of the car, it was good to go.
