Default Front subframe options for early Novas/Chevy II

Looking for front subframe options for a 64 Chevy II. So far all I'm seeing is Chassisworks, TCI, and Heidts. They all look to be more of a hot rod style clip than a pro-touring deal. Are there any other options out there that I am missing or has anyone heard of any companies working on something for these cars?

DSE is right around the corner, stay tuned. We have already shipped Quadralinks, Subframes are close behind.

They all offer "PT" style clips for our early novas. I would wait and see what the DSE clip looks like along with where it's gonna land price wise.

Even though it may be a superior clip in terms of engineering you may not need all that performance. Decide where and how you're going to drive the car and then make your decision as far as a clip.

If you're going to go Track/DD I'm liking the TCI clip.....

Track only? Probably the DSE clip will be the one you want.

May never see real hard track time, but it's a quick car that gets driven a decent bit.

What do you like about the TCI over the other two?

Jeff Schwartz has a full frame for that car. He's got a 66 in the shop now getting the full Pro-touring treatment.

There might be pics on his site. www.gmachinechassis.com

I'm guessing you haven't seen this one yet based on your post.

Contact Jake's Hot Rods, I believe he's building one, and I'm sure it wont be a street rod clip.
