Just takes practice. You eventually learn depth and how the welds work, just happens in time.

I need to get mine on the scales, it's completely gutted with aluminum door panels and dash, with a iron block 6.0 and glide, but it's got a 10 pt cage. I hope to be around 2600-2700

Looks like kooks gets the vote for headers. The require no A arms. So chalk one up for them as far as budget not requiring more parts to use their part. Cannot wait till they get here.

Whats up with that? I have a AJE tubular crossmember with stock springs (obviously the bolt on spring perches) and stock a-arms. Dynatechs cleared fine. Who told you they didn't.

Stock a-arms on the car isn't weird....Its economical.

Gonna try out some 26x11.5x17 ET streets so I can keep the wheels. Got a deal on them for 200$. They are supposed to be used at the track once but you can see the nipples all around the tires were not burned all the way off yet.

That would be great if I am at that. Imma try damn it!!!

Scored some doors for the stang that are in great shape. Also got the fuel containment situated with a stock tank that is already sumped. Good to go.

The doors came off a fox that has run 200+ mph, so they are worth at least 50-60 hp I think.
