Default Heidts front suspension swap

First thing we tackled was improving the Chevelle's handling and braking, so we swapped out the stock front suspension for a Heidts upgrade, and a Wilwood disc brake conversion.

It looks like a really nice car, and with the updates it's going to be even better.
