do you plan on using the standard c5/6 spindles and what do you plan on doing in the rear? Personally I think it would be pretty cool if some company would use the speed tech model for a chevelle chassis. I would like to see one built that uses the stock A arms, even if the geometry isnt the best it could be improved by adjusting pivot points etc. As for now if you are on a budget HPI is your only alternative to the expensive stuff.

Front suspension will be more than likely C6 based.. Rear suspension will be 3 link with pannard bar with option to do watts..

Last nite we modeled wheels .. Saturday I got schooled on gusset designs by my engineer.. center section will change some...

Great SolidWorks modeling! Where did you get the engine model from? Download for free or (I'm guessing) purchase?
