    Hey, I'm not saying I think it's a good idea or that I'd use one myself, just that they're popular. Most street rods are about the drive train and the body; the suspension is an afterthought.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Upper and lower control arms with coil springs and R&P steering, is hell of a lot better than the stock straight axle with king pins and manual steering. You would be surprised how nice this thing drives/rides.
