^^^ Well he won't have that car anymore. That wheelhop about killed him. I've seen all kinds of cars wheelhop, fwd, rwd, leaf, irs, etc. One thing for sure you can't have a car do that without losing control and breaking stuff. Those old leaf cars were bad esp with bad eye/shackle bushings. I think the worst experience I had was stopping, you can get a leaf to wheelhop when you lock the brakes.

I think with some paint that car looks bad ass. I had the wheel wells cut out on my 67 like that.

Sounded like just before he lost it he gassed it again other wise he might of saved it.

You got it Dustin, Just because its not all shiny doesn't mean it shouldn't be there. Ive got a friend in Marshalltown that has a 55 with a straight front axle and a fast 327 in it, should he not race it due to the front axle?

Did anyone see the number in the window? That was his mistake lol.
