Jim,
Any new pictures?
I found a chassis shop that builds complete frames for older corvettes that eliminates the corvette differential, trans axle and torque tube. They build the new frames with C5/C6 suspension parts and use a Viper diff.
Their designs are right up my alley as I already have all the C5 suspension components and Viper diff (had planned to retro-fit a cobra IRS into the GTO but use the Viper diff).
My only issue is that the shop won't sell me the front and rear clips and wants to build them for me as a complete frame and sell it that way. My plan called for me to remove the floor pan. Bend up some 1/8" steel sheet into a profile to match the new frame rails and capture the edges of the rocker panels. The slide that into the rocker panels through the bottom. Tack those in place then lower the car onto the new complete frame.
I'm still toying with ideas on this. I might be able to order a front and rear clip in the profiles I need from Art Morrison then fill in the center section. But the first order of business is to get under the car and game plan this a little more.
