Upper Control Arm Cross Shafts

[CTX-SLPR]

Central Texas sleeper? Where in Livermore-80-81 we lived over by the airport, saw some nice WWII planes being restored over there. Lawrence Livermore Lab?

I am originally from Central Texas, Austin area. The name came from my best friend's name for my original 70 Riviera with a built 455 Buick in it. After 16yrs in the military I'm now a Physicist for Lawrence Livermore Labs and pretty much live across the street from the lab. When I moved here we stayed next to the airport, there was some really interesting things at the airport. The guy with an office next to mine restores, designs, and builds airplanes as a hobby. This year for VJ day they staged all of the WWII fighters out of the Livermore airport.

Could you not cut the tall factory spring pocket/control arm mount off and use a flat plate and tubing spring locator/shock mount? Rebuild off that with the stockcar type upper control arm mounts and you could use any upper arm you wanted. It would let you use a spindle that wasn't overly tall too.

Sorry, not cutting the frame up for something like that. I'm liking Jordan's (1BADBET) idea of modifying the stock cross shafts.

Besides us living in Livermore for a year, my dad was a PhD research geophysicist and made a few trips to the Lab for work stuff.Some seismographs look for underground nuclear test waves not just earthquakes! WWII he was at Los Alamos on the detonators. I did horse vet work so I was all around Livermore,Danville, Mt Diablo area-back when Tassajarra was out int he country and Livermore was a little town.
