Isn't that how they did it back in the day? I thought I remembered seeing a pic of an orange 71 Chally that was a racecar all its life. It was all tubbed out and used leaves I think.

Yeah normally you would expect a car like that to be "back halved" with coil overs wouldn't you. Looks silly like that.

I have seen "Pro Street" custom cars in the '80s that had only about 10 inches between the rear tyres. :lol:

Yeah the Pro Street movement could get pretty radical. I remember at one of the Street Machine National where one of the PS cars was showing off his spare biller axles in a shoebox :mrgreen:
