Thanks, Jody. The mini tub is in the planning for the rear. Just tryint go nail the front. Long story short. 4 years ago I gave a way my stock 69 subframe with disk brakes. Thinking I would go aftermarket.

Now I just acquired a stock 68 sub frame with drums. Now it's back to square one.

I have looked into all the sub frames. And even speed tech. You are up there in price with the addition of Tall spindles.

Thanks again.

Brian

what would be your budget for a front subframe if you were going to go custom?

I have been thinking about this for a long time. And Everyone is great on here for information. But what a concept if there was a lets say. A list of price and improvement parts. In ranges lets say in increments of 1,000.

2,000 to 3,000
3,000 t0 4,000

My self for the PT look and driveability I think I would have to have an expectation to pay around 2,500 to 3,000 for components.

I have been hesitant to call because I want to have available funds for the right products and the right expectations.

Thanks, Brian.

Areas to watch for signs of tire/wheel contact are; tire inner sidewall to subframe under full lock steering, wheel inner to stock upper control arm during full lock steering, tire outer sidewall to fender lip especially on 1969 models.".

While it's obvious that X has anything BUT a stock suspension how was an 18x9 wheel shoe-horned in there and not rub?

Incidentally, how frickin' cool would it be to see a comparison of the Mark/Charley cars? I for one would love to see how a no-expense-spared car like Mule would compare to a "simpler" car like X!!!!!!!!!! Getting Mark to drive each car not only for the consistency but also his driving ability and familiarity with each car and you've got one for the ages. Anybody feel like doing some butt-kissing???
When camaro X was built it did have a stock subframe modded with ATS goodies so that is probally why the tire width?

We can certainly put together different sub frame packages now
Full sub
Stock sub with chicane conversion
Stock sub with qa1 GMp coil over conversion
Stock sub with arms.
Ad in a lee box and all new lingage or unisteer rack

ATS spindles on any of the above packages

lots of different options to fit any budget.
