Very possible but that sort of behaviour is more evident in the Fens as you get out of Norfolk. Where Cubist used to live

Rear camber and offset is on point for sure. I’ll even make an exception and allow the 7” fronts on this occasion.

Hot rods are all well and good but a proper RS [rep] is still a great thing.
