65 biscayne

[spchiv]

I'm doing a '61 Bel Air and put a Morrison chassis under it. I've been pretty happy with it, but it will still be a while before I get a chance to drive it. I'm thinking the rack and pinion, disc brakes, and lower center of gravity will make the car much more drivable, plus we set the engine back a few inches. I really like these '60s full size chevys.

18s will have room all the way around them in front with a car that size and 22s will be stuffed in the rear.
Don't look at Troy's car as a difficult challenge to surpass but as a template for ideas and inspiration. Just a twist on some of his ideas with your favorite color and wheels and you can't lose!

Actually we just finished designing some tubular upper and lower control arms for the front. We redesigned the lower arm to an A-frame style arm, with an adjustable bearing on the frame end. Ton's of caster available. Chassis Works makes a Wilwood brake kit for the stock spindles as well.

We also have the front & rear sway bars w/ the new PosiLinks and rear trailing arms w/ adj. panhard bar. More images here.

IIRC, the rear upper control arms are the same as 67-72 a-bodies and the lowers are the same as g-bodies. Or it could be the other way around. Or I could be thinking of E bodies instead of B bodies.

Forget I even piped up.

Bulldog - can't wait to watch the build.

the chicayne had

Front: 19” x 8” with Nitto NT555 Extreme, size 245/35ZR19

Hurrican

had a 295 40 20 on the rear - nice tire
