Alright, tomorrow I can finally go pick up my 71 2 door hardtop from storage. i finished my shop completely now and winter is here so time to get started on my 2 year project!

Now where to start???

Basically I just wanted to see what you guys think about my choices, and I could use A LOT of advise.

My plans for the car include a 565 brodix head solid roller big block with a Procharger blow through carb setup. I want to run a 10.5in tire with stock style suspension, and I would like to put this car into the 9's at my altitude (about 4500ft corrected).

What suspension should I go with? I am thinking of going all Wolfe racecraft with the antiroll bar, and rear coilovers.

As for front - no clue. I want this car to be show quality and 'streetable', my definition of streetable is slicks/skinnys, 5000 stall, and mufflers if that answers your questions. I want to make it as light as possible in the front as well, so thinking of all chromoly from a-arms?

Fire away with opinions!

Thanks!
