Suspesnsion:
We prefer nose-high, and straight axles. SHOULD have a traditional gasser stance—nose-high, baby!
HOWEVER, we know a lot of cars that ran in the gasser classes in the ‘60s used stock front suspensions, or were even lowered in the nose. So we do not have any rules regarding front end height or front suspension.
