thanks guys. dad likes to think he knows every trick in the book, but what man doesnt lol, so im sure ill be askin yall some questions. actually have one now. theres not an inch of rust on the car, but i was wondering if there was anyway of making the trunk stronger. theyve always taught me to use ur ass till it was gone, and i dont wanna have to use the front end... i know the rules would help but they change bout every year here.. but any suggestions?

dont be worried about useing the front IMO the fronts are alot stronger then the rears i say check out other ford builds in this section i like to keep the trunks tight as in creasing sucking it all together

should be stock limited, but like i said, rules change alot around here so i cant say for sure. and its not that i dont think the front is stronger, but id hate to go out and hit somebody and blow my own radiator early u know?

dimple the frame, crease those back quarters out and dish that trunk lid down... it dont really matter rules for a vic, stock or full weld you can build them this way, the humps are good and strong on these so build it like this and itll be hard plus it will end up packing in nice too
