Here we go. I am beginning my first Pro-touring build and it all started with the frame I bought that someone went another way with his project.
His lost will hopefully be my gain. The suspension is C4 Vette in the front and rear. Brakes will be from a C5 Zo6. Currently I am running a Lt1 in the car as a daily driver, plan to up grade to a Lt4 or thinking about running a Ls1 to save some weight. Wheels are five spoke Vette rims from a C5 and 89 Camero front seat. Frame going to Alabama or C4 rear installation. Goal to keep project under $15K including car. Here are a few pics attached

interesting. I don't think I have ever heard of someone using a C4 suspension on a Gbody before. This should be pretty damn cool. Who set the IRS up or was it a custom deal?

[c4regal]

I am taking the frame down to Street Shop Inc. in Alabama to have them set up the rear end in the frame.

Real cool project. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

Cool. I had a Dana 44 rear that I was going to put in my Monte, but decided I didn't have the time or $ to do it. But has always been my dream. Good to see someone is doing it. Can't wait to see more pics.

Hey is this Elaina's brother Matt? I think I see Greggs El Camino over there. Glad to see some progress pics and welcome to the site.

[c4regal]

I bought the unfinished frame from Gregg, he went a different way with his project and dropped a 572 big block in his el camino

Trey and the guys at Street Shop know what they are doing with adapting C4/5/6 rear ends to different vehicles.

any updates?

[cobraguy65]

Cool Project!

[twfurst]

I have had this idea floating around my head first for my monte, then for my malibu for a while. Looking forward to seeing this unfold.

[CruizinKev]

so, any updates?

[mc84_zz4]

Wow, I'm not sure how I missed this one before!...
Very cool project, I'll be checking up on this one too.
Best of luck on it, the frame looks tasty.

[irregal83]

i want to see updates!

[BulldawgMusclecars]

Yeah, me too!

[devwil68]

the new 2012 gs is gonna look ok?

[SickSpeedMonte]

That is awesome! I have wanted to do this to another Monte SS for a little while now. It would make for one hell of a nice car to spend some time in.

Does that rear need to be isolated from the frame?

[Greasy63]

Updates??????????

[Doober]

It would be cool to see this come to fruition :D

[brrymnvette]

Frame is/was for sale locally on cragislist

[Doober]

Well that's a shame :( What part of MO was it listed in?

[brrymnvette]

It was the ST Louis one, but I just did a search and don't see it listed anymore.

[Doober]

I just looked a little while ago, I didn't see it either :(

[c4regal]

I put a stop to the project because I found a great deal on another project that I could complete and be driving right away. I bought Project Muscle Truck from Travis the editor of Street Trucks magazine. All it really needed was ignition and efi to complete. Put a mallory ign and FAST efi on it and runs great.
Therefore the frame and front suspension is for sale now $850 will take it.

[BulldawgMusclecars]

Did you ever get it set up for a C4 rear, or is it still stock?

[c4regal]

The rearend set up is still the Triangular four link with the coilover connected behind the rearend. Pictures in original thread - Frame and all front suspension is for sale

Thats too bad, looked like it was going to be a pretty sick build.


Lets see the truck. If its the one I'm thinking of, that is one bad ass ride.
