Thanks fellas for the

As seen above, the rear suspension is based on Dick Guldstrand/Bob Riley 5-link set up, which is a vast improvement over the stock trailing arm set up. I have also a custom 6 link in development for this, so I can substitute the half shafts as upper trailing arms. But first I want to drive it with the 5-link only.

Custom ordered sway bar and custom tailored rear coil overs should also play a role in the cars handling.



Mid Year vettes have a removable rear exhaust panel, so when you want to remove the body off the frame, you just unbolt that piece and you can lift the body straight up. With the GS's that part is molded into the body and they had shorter tubular frames, so that wasn't a problem. But since I'm using stock frame and fixed rear panel I had to cut my frame and make a removable section for future body offs .



Rear suspension not done at this point, but you'll get the picture.
