Thanks bug,
I am sure that mine will get shifted hard while under full boost more than once,so i'm trying to build it smarter using the experience of my peers.I didn't know how far to plate and gusset them.I also wasn't sure where the week spot was in the armafter cutting them for the bags.Mine will end up with the full arm and the bags mounted to an extra plate behind the arm,will post up pics as soon as i'm done with one. |

That car is bad as hell. I have a 57 that looks exactly like it sans the suspension work. What tires are you running? Are your rims stock width? |

| I have contemplated clearing the body and leaving it like that but there's two problems doing so, it will almost certainly rust and secondly I will feel like I've done a half assed job. So much work has gone into it to get it to that stage why not finish it off proper |
