Yes it's a p71 and yeah I've been itching to build one stock. It will have a good bumper up front not welded tho has to be bolted maybe a few body bolts but not going wild. Tom

The aluminum cradles are stronger then most think. Some of these cars came with steel lower a arms. There are also some that have solid forged upper arms. I would love to run one of these stock with just a front bumper swap. If you can keep her running and avoid wheel shots, that nose will tear stock cars apart.

If your allowed to,,, I would change the front two body mounts and add spacers so that the bottem of your radiator is up out of harms way. If you don't tilt it will make your front fenders tilt upwards,, but won't hurt anything.

What happened to his engine at the end? Did it break the cradle or break an engine mount?
