Hi all, newbie would appreciate some input

[kurtmart]

You want opinions? You've come to the right place.

Solid rear axle? Not at all like orig. but can work well if controlled. Is it attached to coil springs or just hung on leaf springs only, or are there any control arms? Looking at some of the kit websites chassis shots will show some nice set ups.

I'd try to drive the car and carefully put it trough some basic testing, handling, braking, frame flex etc.

Death trap? They're all death traps, some are less death trappy than others, from originals on down.

Could be a neat project if had at the right price or a big pain in the ass, all depends on attitude.

Cheers

onefastace,

First off welcome, you came to the right place!

kurtmart has the right idea ... look it over and take it for a gentle test drive. My guess is that you will either fall in love with it or be unimpressed by how it looks and feels.

I understand the owner's wish to see his dream live on ... what you need to decide is if that's your dream too.

It looks like it could be a lot of fun, you just need to take a close look.

Keeo us posted!
