I'll make some jigs up for the suspension. The Vette rails are 6" x 3.5" while the Holdens are 5" x 3". With the last photo you can see how much the rear rails have to be narrowed.

More work today, realized I made a mistake on the chassis to ground clearence it was set at 5 inches needs to be 7 1/2 to 8 inches. Looks like it mite work though. The cradle is in a rough postion and the chassis still needs to have its height reset and be squared on the table.
