    In consideration of time and money I would go with a complete new chassis, it’s just going to be easier if your not a seasoned hotrod builder ,
    Not sure if krylon32 still does chassis but he’s in Nebraska as DBA cornhusker streetrods , nice tig welded and reasonable price for quality and knowledge

    I would do 40 rear spring ladderbars and Vega box upfront with drop axle and hairpins

  3. Be sure to get friendly with your DMV before you start with the new chassis approach.

    Halibrands, real ones, 15X6 and 15X8. 185/65 and 235/70
    It actually rides as good, or perhaps a little better. All of my cars have had mono leaf springs and P&J front shocks. Spend the money and get the Saginaw Vega steering box.

    I love small blocks. 1955, thinking now with the LS crap, they're vintage.
