Two things to consider:-
Deep dish front wheels will try to follow whatever the road is doing.
Bump steer will do all sorts of horrible things.

Definitely investigate the above two things first.
If you can get your hands on some wheels and tyres that would have been used originally on the front hubs would be an easy starting point, but I think you have bump steer problems.
There is plenty of info on the net about how to check for bump steer. Fixing it can sometimes be simple but other times it can be much more involved.
It you do get into it and work it out you will be very pleased with the results. It will make the car a pleasure to drive and inspire confidence.
