Kevin doesn't visit here very much.But I can tell you a little bit.A few years ago I built my first sub frame using stock lower arms and tube upper arms & coil overs.It's stock geomerty, using gulstrand mod.Uni steer rack & pinion & speedway engineering sway bar.You save about 50#lbs. and w/the narrowed rails you can fit 10 inch wheel.Kevin used my jig to build his sub frame.Now we are building the sub frames to use C6 componets.Because the componets are about the same cost as the after market tube arms.But if you use the c5-c6 brakes that's where you can save some money.The AGR rack is 1/3rd the price as the unisteer rack so you save again ($250.00 vs.$750.00).We use QA1's or strange engineering shocks.Not as top notch as the Afco's but real good for the money.Kevin has some real good photo's of the bare sub frame I will see if he can post them up.Kevin's car look's even better in person.He's working real hard to have it ready for KC Goodguy's.:thumbsup:

Sorry you can no longer use the word "jig" it's a fixture

Just re-read post and discovered that it's not a stock frame at all. You built your own around stock components. more details and pics would be appreciated.
