upgrades? ...!

[Buzzmobile]

well, I have been using ole 148 as a street car for some time now. It has new engine, tranny and rear end in her. But, I have been getting interested a little in tracking the car and we took her out a couple of times, and honestly...she is just scary.


I have done NOTHING to the suspension..not even a brake job or alignment. With the car this early, I am not even sure what components she has.... I just puttered around town with her and things have been fine.

So, I have been reading a lot on the forum about making the car handle well/safe and this is what I think is in order.

R/T shock mount kit and sway bars as well as ball joints. I am sure I need new coil overs, but not sure what type to buy. BRAKES ! (these are just dangerous on the track) I am not even sure what they are....never took them apart. Still running 15 inch wheels. I have the old 5 bolt wheels that came with it as well as a set of knock offs that I bought later...so I have both options. Thinking track tires with the bolt on wheels would be a good thing.

So any suggestions concerning pitfalls or options would be appreciated. The car floats, bounces, shimmies at 65 (SOP) and cannot stop in an aggressive stop to save my life. So, thanks for the help

Basically, if you were me and had a very early car...what would you do?
