Great project! Love to see the midyear Vettes! What will you be doing for a chassis and suspension?

Payton:

Good eye!

No not yet, there are still several things I need to get done for the suspension to set it up properly, that being one of them, I also wanted to go with a full floating rear end. (I should have tried to buy Mark's when I had the chance)

When I get back on this car, and get the front subframe in, I'll get the rest of these issues taken care of.

When I was working on it, it became apparent that some of the additional features I would like on this car would have to wait until a later date. For instance getting the front weight jacks became a bit difficult to justify for the amount of movement you actually get out of them. I figured that since I was going to be the primary driver, and have access to weight jacks in the rear, I'd already be starting with easier adjustment than I had before.

Another item I found challenging was finding the right person to install the adjustable sway bars. I had never done it before. I spoke with HRP World, and they would help make sure the right parts were measured correctly and ordered, but that was as far as they could go. I still would like to implement these on the car, but until I get back on it full time, and find the right shop here locally, I will work with the one on there. Who knows it might not need any adjustment.

I know this is a lot more information than you asked about so sorry about that.

I do appreciate anything you see that you think needs to be brought to my attention, thanks for doing so.

I've got your very nice differential on the frame. It looks like art and I understand I probably won't have to worry about breaking it.

I look forward to putting it through it's paces.

Kyle:

Funny you should ask that!

It is a C4 based design. The Frame was built by Mid-America, The front end suspension, Rack and Pinion, and Brakes are straight C4.

In the rear is a complete Newman rear end. The half shafts have been narrowed so the rear wheels can have a bit more dish/width. Brakes are C4 with cooling disk already installed. It has a Tru-Trac Carrier with 4.10:1 ring and Pinion gears in the rear.

Hopes this helps.

Thanks for your interest.
