Well, my frame is sorta rusty and I just dont trust a 35 year old rusty frame. Im going to do a MII front suspension swap this summer and I would like to tub/minitub my rear end... What does that add up to?? Tube chassis, MII and possible ladderbar setup. Well, cost is an issue so I figure a stock leaf setup will work for now (and is supposedly preffered when racing) so I plan on moving the leaf springs inwards.

Im looking into building a tube chassis from 2x3 box tubing and running it straight back. How much do you think I can move the leaf springs in without screwing it all up??
