Outlaw, i don't know if the 2 spring setup works better than a cross over spring, my axle was out of an old ford, and the first run down the track with the car was 11.19 @ 122 MPH and i almost wet my pants (i was only 25 yrs. old) i was crazy/stupid as hell in those days and didn't have much fear, but i did realise that that setup was not going to work, By the way i lived at 317 Cedar Circle Rd. in Streamwood when you lived in Hanover Park. Do you remember the hellous snow storm we had in April 1965? i was stuck at work for 2 days in Elk Grove at the shop worked at. WoW :!: :!: memories.
