hey guys I know its been a while. I'm about half way threw the restoration. And so my neighbor suggested that I throw a straight axle under it. much cheaper! what do you guys think?

I have a 64 2drht that has a pro street rear end under it 33x19,5's and 40in wheel tubs,,,me and son are THINKING about doing something with it,,we thought about a straight frt axle,,,but we need to get it inside the shop and do some measuring,cause it sits low in the rear,,so that idea might not work....be sure and keep me in the loop on what route you take,,,thank you POP

Wow I thought my 22 inch tubs were big, Do you have any pictures of the car I almost did mine in Gasser form, I love them I was not born early enough. Leny Mason

LENY,THIS OLD pro street comet was a thing with me 20 odd yrs ago,,somehow it got shoved on the back burner,,and life and my job took center seat.It has been sitting in the weeds forever,,,my son mentioned a few times and we get to talking and planning,then it's raceing or deer huntin season and we move on ..,,as far as pic's ,POP ain't much on pic's so don't hold your breath,,one day son and I will get all our ducks in a row,,hopefuly before OL POP gets to old to care or work,,,good luck with yours in which ever way you choose to go with it.....I know it will sharp...the best thing about this comet is you retain the rear seat....

Love the gassers. Thinking about putting a straight axle under my cyclone to southeastern gasser specs . Its just killing me to cut up a cyclone. Good luck. If you put a straight axle in it it has to have a clutch,(imo).

ME and son are not going with a str frt axle,,WE like them but this 64 we have will not sit right as the stance will be out of whack !! to low in the rear....instead it will get a stang 2 frt end .....pop
