My Chevelle will be on the road for the summer just not sure on what chassis yet..........been talking to someone on that ;-)
coming from a guy that should have been driving his car a few years ago, just get it done. you can always build another with a bitchin chassis, but it will take you a ton of steps back if you go aftermarket. just my .02

Good stuff buddy.. sounds like the plan should be coming together soon.

Yeah I gotta assume that chassis change would not be a small one and have rippling effects to the rest of the car and systems? Still, that would be bad ass! :D

Let me know if you need a spare hand once you get back into it.

Well business comes first so I have kept my head out of it till I felt I could, it's a better time of the year for me to have more free time so it will be move along here soon. The chassis deal is something in thoughts right now that will not ditch everything I have now so it not much more work, that is if this deal comes though on a factory replacement chassis. I am not starting from scratch on a complete suspension for this build that is for sure. I have meaning to get with you on the front coil springs you used.

I've been wondering about you Nick since we haven't heard any updates. It can be hard with a family and other activities but glad to hear your still on track with a few possible changes :) Sounds good! :thumbsup:
My offer still stands as well , If you need a hand I'm just over the hill.

I'm going to try and make it one of the day's not sure yet. Most likely Saturday though.

ha, i hope you have more restraint than me. it could mean just a few changes, but it opens the door for more really bitchen changes. i wouldnt be able to hold back.

i went with the circle track 575s, but they will most likely swap out to 650+ once its on the road. my initial thought was less spring with a larger bar, but with limited ground clearance, more spring might be needed. i started with spring spacers but ran into clearance issues and built these.

Thanks for the info, so what's the problem with regular coil springs? Are you doing this for adjustment on the track or for the correct coil spring rate. From what I have read that most the coils on the market do not fit correct in the SCC lowers. So all I am missing to complete the front is coil springs and sway bar, any suggestions? My research time has been slim and to get this car on the road that is all I am missing other than shop time on the car it self. I have money to the side so I want to order what I need as soon as I know what I want and need.
