Corvette Cradle Shortining for width

Way Cool...

I am building a Pro-Touring 1967 Chevelle Station Wagon that I am building into a 2-Door from a 4-Door...

It currently has the old school Pro-Touring setup with the Tall B-body spindles and dropped springs and a big sway bar and a few other things that were available at the time I built this suspension 7 years ago...

I do contract engineering CAD design work, mostly for automotive/trucking companies like Freightliner in Portland and Kenworth in the Seattle area...I have been trying to design my own frame setup similar to the Art Morisson unit...Not that I could really do any better than A.M., but I just always wanted to design one on CAD, and build it out knowing that you could CNC locate all the pick-up points for the Corvette suspension and design around it...

I have basically just made it more of a pet project and am now looking to do a few other side jobs and cut the check to Art and have one sent to me...As much as I would like to consider myself a "Supercar - Designer/Builder", suspension design is better left to the guys who eat/sleep/breathe it...

I would love to follow your project though and see how you attack certain issues on your Convert...I just sold my all #'s matching 1967 SS396 Ragtop that I had had for almost 18 years...Why you ask?...Because the original owner (who was the Mayor of New York back in 1967 and ordered it as a parade car during office) tracked me down through the three other owners of the car and kindly asked me to sell him back his "baby"...

Cheers,
