68 Firebird 428 Build up

[Relax428]

Started working on my 68 Firebird today.

Started with a freash Stock Sub-frame, Global West Control Arms and Varishock Coil overs

How are you mounting the varishock coilovers to the stock subframe?

[rohrt]

:naughty: That frame makes a nice center piece to your living room.:naughty:

[Relax428]

It does look nice there doesn;t it.

These coil overs are designed for stock frames and mount through the stck shock location I will take more pictures.

Hmmm....Have always been told that they were not a direct bolt in?? Heard you had to modify the stock shock mount?

[Relax428]

My shocks fell right into place so I think it would be the same for your nova.

This issue for the shock mounting is how the coil over mounts to a stock lower control arm. When you buy new aftermarket control arms you have to specify if you want stock shocks or coil overs.

My SpeedTech lowers are supposed to work with either. But I stayed with standard shocks and springs.

The bottom shock mounts were a little bit tight. I took a Dremal and grinded away a little bit of material and now they fit the global west arms perfectly.
