hi all,
if i'm not planning to hop the car. Do I still need to wrap the whole frame or re-inforce will work just fine? What are the pros and cos of frame wrap and re-inforcement?
Thanks!

Don't waste you time doing all the work and not wrapping it. Just do it right at first and wrap it. I've seen cars at bp customs that wish they would have after their shit buckled or tore.

My motto: Do what you can afford, if you cant afford to wrap it reinforce the major stress points common to you car model. But if you hop it be prepared for the frame to buckle down the road, if you can afford redoing the whole frame then don't reinforce it. The moral to my story is avoid getting clowned and wrap the frame right the first time, someday you will get the itch to show out and bounce it a few times for the biches and lexbos don't ruin it with a twisted up frame. Do what you can afford.

not really planning to hop the car. Just want to get the feel of lowriding this coming spring. I just want high/low for now then I plan on getting another gbody frame around september next year then frame wrap it.

My car an 80 MC. Do i just reinforce the arch of the frame? What should I do with the front?

2pump 4batt you should be fine!!! But there is always instances of crazy stuff happening. just extend the uppers and get lifetime warrentied balljoints from napa. Dont Three wheel. make sure you get competition stuff and good checks and slowdowns.

Thats what i said too. "not really wanting to hop it..." but as soon as you can hop, your all over that switch

me personally I will F my car up by blowing seals, breaking motor and tranny mounts, or busting lines. Order my stuff the next day and do it all over again. Some guys screw something up and they learn their lesson and dont do it again. "It cost to be the boss"

Thanks all.. I'll just re-inforce the stress points for now so I can atleast enjoy the lo-lo this spring.
