      Well, first of all, your car is has the same chassis as the 74 Nova. On top of that, I think that's the same as the first gen Camaro. Try doing a search in the suspension section. Make sure your head doesn't explode though. There's a ton to learn. Got any pics of your car? Good luck with it. Oh yeah, welcome to the site.

      no i don't have any pictures of my car,I just bought it at the end of January it will be my daily driver.But I have had not a chance I will have to rewire it and do the brakes.I looked at baer brakes and stainless steel brakes and they are out of reach for me so I hope I can come up with some modifications to do on a budget.

      I want to Thank everone for making a person welcome.So far I have learned a little about suspension but blew a gasket the other day:icon_razz .So much to take in so I am trying to narrow it down and sofar I have gotten some good tips.So I am wondering being new to all this if it would be better to start off with Guldsrands mods first and then go to GW for a upgrade?

      Thanks,Cliff

      We should do a NC pro-touring get together. Maybe get everyone to come out to the Grill 57 cruise in, in Garner, sometime.
