B-Body Handling

[impalajesse]

Hey all,

I have a 1966 Caprice. I want it to run as hard in the corners as it will on the straights. Any help? I realize it will never be a Vette, or ever a 4th gen Camaro, but I know I can improve the sloppy steering, bouncey ride, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Jesse

Hey marty,
No I don't have pics right now, but I will soon. I'm just in the tear down stage right now. My car is also a 396 but with the th400. It has only 57k original miles, and the body is in great shape. My biggest problem is rust in the the window channels, and alittle in the trunk.
I am familiar with the Hotckis stuff, but I'm not sure if they have springs for my car. I know there are some out there, but I was hoping to collect some ideas.
I have some cool plans for it, when I get some pic's I'll share em!
Bummer about the fire, I hope everyone was okay.

Thanks Jesse
