i would like to know more about your front suspension setup.
Well I used the stock front axle, modified the spindles by turning them down on a lathe to accept the 78up monte carlo rotors and bearings. Oddly enough the outer bearings fit, the only mod was turning down the spindle to get the inner to fit and then making the spacer for the correct placement on the spindle and for the inner seal. Worked really well!! I made the front hairpins and will be running a suicide front spring.

All I was after was something totally different but not throwing crazy things on it like saw blades or and old amnure spreader!! LOL I'm not really after a rat rod or a vintage but more of something when looked at during a show for someone to say to themselves "How in the world did they come up with that?"
LOL
