After deciding to get more involved in driving, we turned to Cris at JCG Restorations and Customs. We put together a plan to simply mini tub the car and add the DSE four link which would allow us to run a 315 rear tire. Since new wheels were in order, we turned to Forgeline and ordered their GA3R three piece wheels in a brushed finish center with polished lips.









Since the rear end was coming out we upgraded to a Ford 9 inch with a Speedway full floater system. My dad LOVES parking brakes, something Cris and I always joke about but it was important to him that this car has one so it does. To do so took a little creativity since we were using C6 Corvette Z06 brakes from Kore3. However with a little thinking from us, Cris, and Tobin at Kore 3 this car has an amazing stock-style parking brake and everyone is happy! The rear end is also equipped with a gear driven pump to an oil cooler for extended track sessions.









At this point in the story is where things started getting a bit out of control. Cris is a darned good salesman and convinced my dad that adding The Detroit speed hydroformed subframe would be the ‘right’ way to build the car to make it ‘balanced.’ Of course he was right so out came the old and in with the new. He also smoothed the firewall while he was at it.









I don’t think I mentioned it already but the car already had a tremec t56 magnum that had been installed a few years earlier.





With the new wheels(Forgeline GA3R), wider tires front and rear (275/315) and the Detroit Speed Subframe and quadralink the Car went back together and was ready for its first test which is where I will leave it for tonight. I hope you all enjoyed it and I will continue to post more if there’s interest!
