And I can almost assure you that building a GOOD tube-chassis to allow only 'stock' bolt-on's would be nearly as costly as building a full-blown Pro-4 chassis. If I were a conventional Pro-4 chassis builder, and business was decent, I wouldn't take on the task of building such a 'limited' tube-chassis design/setup. -Dave-
Absolutely correct, Dave, the Northwest Late model 4's were originally "pan cars/steel
bodies", then Pan cars/Plastic Bodies", then tube frames with stock suspensions,and finally the pro 4's as we race them with the alliance. It's cheaper to go all the way with 3 linkR/After market front A frame/coilovers than to build a tube frame angled 4link/McPherson strut (Mustang) or a leaf rear/a frame/coil front (Pinto) hybrid "Amateur" 4. Been there, done that.
