Did some more tear down today. Cars starting to look empty:
http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/3ab27dde.jpg No more wilwoods. Zo6 binders coming soon... http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/28485f71.jpg Pulled the rear, springs and all. Hopefully it'll sell soon and it's hello 9"/truck arms :) http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/340cf74a.jpg Anybody want a 3.5" mandrel bent header back exhaust? I love it but I don't think it's gonna clear the new suspension: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/6142db7f.jpg And that's all for now. Hopefully finish gutting everything this week. Waiting on some other stuff to arrive and it's on to the rebirth :) |
And just to add them to this thread here's a pic of the new wheels:

Finally opened the trunk for the first time in 2 and a half years the other day.
A bit of a mess, but it's all going bye bye: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/7eb83f48.jpg Got the old fuel system torn out and ready to move onto it's new home. Traded all this and some cash for my pickup :) http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/03a23af0.jpg And the empty hole. Going back to a stock trunk floor and stock style tank so I can have some storage space back. I plan on going on a lot more road trips once it's done. http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/b3a6fdc2.jpg And just cause I had too. This is inside my wheelwell. I don't burn out, ever lol. http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/b69d0727.jpg |
Looking good!!!! Those wheels look terrific!
|

|

Gonna have to now though. It's mini tub time to clear the 295's I'm planning on running in back. Guess I'll just have to start over :) |
So, after waiting a few weeks I finally got my shipment from S&W race cars.
Steel tube formed rear frame rails, new front subframe tie in bars, new rear down bars so I can run a back seat, and some extra tube for a diagonal on the main hoop and whatever else I may need. http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/736b179d.jpg Also, finally picked up the vette :) Ignore the trailer strapped to the roof, my landlord wanted me to grab it lol http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/8b86dc1c.jpg And started tearing it down today. Looks pretty simple with all the plastic and fiberglass parts torn off: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/1f9bf478.jpg http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/3bce7a8e.jpg Did a bunch of measuring today too. Think I figured out a game plan. Believe it or not the frame rails before and after the control arms on a c5 and a first gen are actually within a half inch of eachother. Tomorrow I'll most likely get the front clip cut off and finish stripping the vette chassis. Once I get them side by side I'll be able to finalize some things. This should be a huge improvement over the 40 year old technology that was there: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/d860a64d.jpg |
