Where im running its pretty much anything goes as long as its not to excessive. Only thing they really look for is no welds on the frame and no added body metal.

Did u just lay the roof down or did u beat the quarters over too? Ive been thinking about that if I laid the roof in the floor and welded pretty solid, then beat the quarters on top of that and welded solid. But I have no idea, just looking to get some ideas from ppl that have and haven't ran these cars

I just don't know if itll be worth the work, plus its been quite a few years since any bodies ran a wagon, and even then they didn't sedagon them. Id hate to do it and then kick me for it ya know? But if someone can tell me how to upload pics I can put some on here and show what I got so far and see what everybody thinks.

The back was cold bent up behind the humps, it did exactly what we was hoping for. Bronco coil springs give it plenty of height in the back. A arms welded down in front. Solid steel bar shoved as far back as possible in front of a arms, with a solid loaded bumper up front. No bumper on back and no tailgate.

No we decided not to sedagon just yet. We're gonna see what it Does in the first run and go from there, if somehow it doesn't go up then we're gonna sedagon it for the next run.
