Formula needed for a beginner

[Yanchik]

Hello, I’m mid process on restoring my stock 70’ Skylark 350 with drum brakes. I know these cars don’t handle the best but I’m doing with what I can to make it the best it can be (within my college budget)



Can anyone give me a list of what items to purchase so I can make my car take turns like it’s on rails? (Or atleast close to it)

I have about $3000 to spend. Figure $1500 just for wheels and tires.

What parts should I spend the other $1500 on that will give the best improvements in handling?

I already have a 1.25 front sway bar and KYB shocks (not installed yet) The KYB’s are just temporary and don’t mind upgrading to better ones if the gains are worth it.

Thank you very much for reading!
