Hey Jim, That's cool your wife understands you need the car for your project. My wife was all for me picking mine up knowing I wanted to race it, she did question me about how much life insurance I got later on.  Sounds like you know what you want to do with the back end. I didn't tub it, I'm running it like it was when I first picked it up. It has Competion Eng. adjustable shocks set at 50/50 and Competion Eng. ladder bars vintage around 1993 that the guy before me had S&W race cars setup to get them to hook correctly. I remember he said the Pass. rear is massaged slightly for a little extra clearance. Pretty basic but its working good. I run 28x15x12.5 ET streets, and get consistant 1.53-1.55 60ft. In the summer I'm running 11.55 at 117.83 at 3485 lbs.race weight. I forget to tell you before, that before the motor was assembled the entire reciprocating assembly from balancer to flexplate and bolts was sent out and balanced, I think that helped with any harmonics that might of otherwise made it's way up to the valvetrain. Just thinking about your project got me remembering how excited I was, it's going to make this winter fly by for you.
