    Removing Front Jounce bars?

    I'm building a 78 Cutlass Supreme for drag racing. It has two jounce bars that run from the engine crossmember to the frame rails near the front sway bar. Should I leave them on or remove them ?

    Welded up the doors on the 78 Cutlass after removing the crash bars a few months ago. Put doors back on and got the adjusted. Now have to weld up the drivers door jamb sheet metal where the striker is. Hinges sagged so bad that it cracked the metal around the striker.

    Extracted the crash bars out of the doors of the 1978 Cutlass Supreme. Gutted the interior and trashed every thing except the dash and door panels. 13 years of mice living in the car. Plan on putting a 6 point roll bar and bracing up the frame some, maybe a mini tub. Will be putting a 455...

    G-bodies disappearing-never gave it much thought

    I've seen them up close and they where pretty clean cars at one time. I had a friend and his brother both raced, my brother owned one for awhile and had another friend that built engines for some of the drivers. They liked the cleaner cars, less body work until the started racing them.

    G-bodies disappearing-never gave it much thought

    That's the way it is here. There is a few running around but most have been used up as stock cars. LaCrosse Speedway is 20 minutes from me, then Wisconsin Dells, Tomah and few others that are an hour or so drive. I'm not into it but have seen a lot of nice sheet metal get destroyed.

    I planned on wearing a mask and gloves, also put two boxes of mouse poison in it, one in the trunk and one in the interior. Both boxes were empty the next day. Thanks.
