Sorry for the delay on details, I just got back from a hunting trip with my son out in the Oregon high desert.


Here's my tenative plan to be enacted as time and money allow. Strip the recently acquired subframe assembly down to the bare frame and clean it and detail the slop from the factory welds. Acquire the factory dimensions and straighten as required.

The current vision is to install a SpeedTech Chicane kit, SpeedTech upper and lower arms, RideTech single adjustable shocks, AFX tall spindles, new tie-rod ends with SpeedTech sleeves, and use the Hotchkis tubular sway bar that came with the subframe. Then I'll have the frame media blasted and powder coated or paint with POR or equivalent, I'm leaning to POR at this time.

I'd appreciate hearing the pro's and con's of this plan as I have no first hand experience with those components.

I'll also have for sale a relatively new stock steering box, upper and lower control arms, cross member, Wilwood 4 piston calipers, pads, hubs, and rotors, and Hotchkis lowered big-block springs. I'll have more details when I get it disassembled since I received the subframe a couple hours before I left town on Thursday.

Thanks
