    HEY GUYS! I worked on the ol girl this weekend. got some more rust fixed. Its a real pain in the ass having to fab up all my own patch panels, but they are probably much better quality than all the "made in taiwain" patch panels that are out there. Take a look. Got a question tho. Been toying with the idea of bagging it. would a b body impala kit fit a pontiac? Frame are the same would the a arms be?

    Low the Rally II's on that car. I think I'd put it just a little higher..the overhang on those cars is LONG.

    Lots of where there. GOOD JOB!

    I believe you will find the A-arms are slightly different between the Pontiac and the Chev. Pontiac was the wide track division for a reason. The track really was 2 to 3 inches wider, and often the difference in the front is the control arms. The springs, though may well be the same length. Check a Hollander's for sure.
