Hey guys of been out of the car game for a while andcurrently building 1970 Chevelle pro touring twin turbo LS. wanted to reach out to you guys for help and some advice.

I'm looking for carbon fiber hood and trunk does anybody know of a company other than anvil? They have a 3-5 month turnaround time and I need parts sooner.

I also need some help choosing
suspension kind of torn between
Global West and Hotchkis kits? Or anything better within that price range? I'm looking for something that I can track as well as drive daily.

I just acquired a Ls3 with a six speed that should be arriving this week. shortly after the turbos are going on there. I'm currently trying to get everything else together so I can start putting this together as quick as possible hoping to have this car built within the next four months. It's an aggressive goal but hope with your help I can save time doing research as I'm sure you guys/gals have more info and knowledge on something's I don't.

I will have pics and rendering I will start posting in the next couple of weeks. I appreciate all your future advice.


Cheers,

Bull

Nobody I know of for carbon stuff..check out BMR as well as sc&c for suspension stuff. If it's a 3-5 month turn around for the hood and trunk that fits in with your 4 month build schedule

Thanks for reaching out. Do you have any info on what size tire I can fit with your stage 2 handling set up without having to mini tub the chevelle? I can substitute for coil overs in the kit correct? Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Hugo

Thanks for the help. The crappy part about the 3-5 is the body shop needs them ASAP for gaps but I guess they have the market cornered so I don't have any choice but to wait.

Hugo, Our Kit does not extend into the Wheel Well so what ever you can fit in there now will fit after the installation of our Kit. Instead of substituting CoilOvers in that Kit, I can build you a Custom Kit with the CoilOvers and the resulting Discount would be better. Plus Shock availability from Bilstein is a bit sketchy right now.

Here's a rendering I had done to keep me motivated on the Chevelle and give me a game plan.
