    I have straightened or cut a few of these off sprint cars myself being from Indiana:).
    Hey Hodges, I have thought of doing this myself. Did you use custom arms or standard arms? What size bar have you figured out to run?

    Thanks all yes I had to narrow the front rails to fit the torsion tubes in like I wanted them.Been working on it about a year and a half and starting to get excited about getting her out.Heres a little vid I did the other day.
    I used 30" torsion tubes with 1050 torsion bars the front arms are 12" just put alittle bend in them and trimmed them down a bit.
