72 Nova - C5 Corvette Suspension Swap Project!

Update time!

Since my last update, I have been focusing on the rear half of the car again.





The above photo shows me starting on the access hatch for the rear transmission. This is how I'll get to the shifter linkage to detach it for engine removal.












Sometimes you just have to get a glimpse of the end product, right?






What I leanred by moving the car up like this is that
A) A 315/30 rear tire looks disporportionate to a 265-40 front. So I have a 295/40 on the way.
B) Somehow the rear 'axle' centerline got moved forward in the chassis by 1/2". I can align my way out of that, though.
C) I don't have to raise my rear wheel well openings. I think it looks fine like this. I will raise the back by another inch though, to help even it out.




I got my order of sheetmetal! All AMD products.
