You want opinions? You've come to the right place.

Solid rear axle? Not at all like orig. but can work well if controlled. Is it attached to coil springs or just hung on leaf springs only, or are there any control arms? Looking at some of the kit websites chassis shots will show some nice set ups.

I'd try to drive the car and carefully put it trough some basic testing, handling, braking, frame flex etc.

Death trap? They're all death traps, some are less death trappy than others, from originals on down.

Could be a neat project if had at the right price or a big pain in the ass, all depends on attitude.

Cheers
