Should be cutting the front clip off and moving back 3 inches and up 2 inches. The cutting starts Saturday.

Happen have a nice flat black c10 about 5 minutes from my house.

Peyton,

Can you explain the need to go 'up 2 inches'? Looking at the pictures, the car looks like it's sitting pretty level. Do you mean you need the car itself to go up 2" so that when the front weight is on it will be at the right level? If you're raising the front of the frame 2", the car is going to be LOOOOOW!

Just trying to follow here. Sorry you're having to do this.

I hope he's moving the frame into the body 2" and modifies his fenders to look similar to this but in Camaro form.

[Greg from Aus]

Can't wait for the pictures.

Very cool Payton.

Super tite rendering!

Moving it back 3 inches to get the wheel base to 108, where it is supposed to be.

Moving the front clip up 2 inches so I can get my LCA's to a more level postion. I am wanting to travel my tire around 3 inches and Jake has it set up where I am already compressed 2 inches at ride height. If I try and travel it 3 inches where it sits now I have bump, camber issues, Etc. and it will be out of the designed range. He assumed that I was going to travel the front 1.25 inches. I told him before he started that I wanted the control arms level at my 4 inch ride height...

Ride height will still be 4 inches at the rockers, relocting the shocks with some trick adjusters from Ron Sutton.

Just scrap it and have Ron Sutton build you a real race car.

I should have gone with my original plan of getting a Howe TA2 car.
