The project ('53 stude) requires much frame work. The extreme version is a full frame/cage, however I do not want it ending up as a pro-street. My vision is more of a dry lakes car with as much safety and handling (the weight matters here). The mild version is using the original boxed rails, with added cross members and front sructure tying into the cage. I am not so hot on the steering arangement either (what am I not changing?). The front end would have twin a-arms, coil overs and maybe nascar spindles. In the back maybe a quick change. Again, no pro street. Wouldn't this be cool with a blown Packard eight?
