Here are a few shots of the Maier Racing fabricated spindles and upper and lower control arms.

:cool: Pretty sure I have seen your vette at some events.

What hubs are you using for the front?

I am using Speedway Engineering hubs on the front and rear. The are proven quality products and Maier Racing has used them a lot.

My Dad and I have run autocross events all over Nor Cal for 25 years and have traveled to Kansas a few times for the National Championship. In the 90's we ran all over the western US.

I went to Castle a lot when they still used the big lot with Fresno SCCA and AAS. The BSPV vettes are the best looking cars out there.

Here are a few more shots of the transmission tunnel fabrication. We made it removable so if we ever need to access the transmission, removing the cover makes it very easy.

Brian, this is a fantastic looking project so far! Maier is obviously well known in the Mustang world, neat to see that it translates over to the Chev's too. I really like the approach of the front spindles, in a previous life we had intentions of developing a very similar piece but scrapped the idea, looking back I wish I wouldn't have changed my mind. These look to be fab'd out of 3/16" plate cold roll steel? Very nice, very functional.

In the CP rule set, using the front frame is required to prevent a weight penalty, but obviously you can change the suspension. How about the steering gear? Could you, if you chose, run a rack in place of the box and not get hit with a weight penalty?

Sure I'll have other questions, but have to run. Really awesome, thanks for sharing the progress.

Mark
