Last weekend at our local "cruise in" I saw a mid 50's Chevy that had full Vette suspension, front & rear, the newer suspension with the tranny at the rear. So I was curious how car shops get this suspension mount information. Do they take a car & measure all of it, or do they get it from GM? Like a body shop that needs to check measurements from a wreck or something?
There is published information on this. This is how body shops know how far out a frame is bent and where to put it back. I have no idea where they get the info from.
But I have seen some of it for 1st and 3rd gen f-body's. I think Dave has the 1st gen info on his site.

Who is Dave?

Mr. Pozzi.
I just looked and the info there is the basics. Although still enough to help out with mounting points and such.

I guess I forgot some information. It is C5/C6 Vette rear suspension that I am curious about.

Just ask Rodger at Iron Works. He probably has them memorized. :hammer:

Those numbers are pretty inaccurate.
