[ill steez]

that looks like it desreves a really nice set of big wheels. just a thought.

[showme]

Yup ! I agree! I'm runnin OZ racing now.They are 15X9.5 front ,15x12 rear.I would like to go 17"or 18".I don't want them any bigger than that!I drive this thing almost daily.

Thats a pretty cool looking frontend. Do you plan on highlighting it with a stripe or will it just be body color? It might look awesome with just a single stripe over the entire scoop area.

After I get the body roughed in I'm thinking about yankin it off and going through the chassis again.Mabey a tube chassis.I want to polish all of the c-4 suspension and aluminum.The chassis has proven itself on the street so I think I will add a little more heat to the engine too.

[nekkidhillbilly]

looks like the corvette summer car you should paint gold or that metal flake red

Ouch!I hoped that it would'nt remind anyone of that.:hand: It's ok though.I'm not sure on the colors yet.I want this to be more go than show.

[showme]

Well it did'nt get finnished this summer and winter is comming so I'm gonna tear it down and go throught the frame again.I'm thinking about a tube chassis or somethine like this.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2006/09/SRIII2-1.jpg

I added C-4 suspension to my frame two years ago,but it is a 35 year old frame and I found that it is rusting from the inside out.I don't trust it!I think that I can still knock off a few more Lbs and stiffen things up even more by going this way. Here's what has been done so far.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/828811

I'd love to do a C4 suspension on my '70 vert. Did you install that yourself or was it a prior-owner mod? I'm very interested in how it was constructed and would like to see more pics of the suspension and chassis. Do the air tunnels/vents aid the aerodynamics?

[showme]

I have done all of the mods myself. If I go with the tube frame I will build it also.(I enjoy fabricating)The tunnels can help with channeling air and down force if they are done rite.Although we try to keep it to a minimum, air must still pass under our vehicles at the same speed as over the top and the belly of most cars have the aerodynamics of a model T.Is this a nessassary thing to do?Probably not but it will make a differance on top.Maybey not alot but it might just be the thing to get that little bit to be a buddy beater.
