Thanks everyone!

@ Che70- No postable CAD drawings yet. We have the prototype built but as with any R&D there may be some real world tweaking to the design as we put things together. Our two number one goals are to get the geometry that we want and make sure everything easily bolts in with nice fitment. We'll post more on the frame as things unfold.

@ Andrew- Quoting Ron Sutton, "The chassis, suspension & frame are all designed to be optimum with a 315/30/18 front tire. While you can run larger in the rear, for handling purposes, I suggest the same 315/30/18 in the rear too. The ExtReme full chassis for the A-Body has all the same benefits as the F-Body clip we've been discussing. The dimensions are slightly different to achieve that optimization for the A-Body, so the result is the same.
As far as the Speedtech Torque Arm set-up in the full chassis, it will have 60% anti-squat."

That is the idea. there may be a few places that need to be trimmed. The tunnel will need to be removed but we will have a kit to replace it as well.

Yet another cool project. Glad to see some Pontiac A bodies get the love.
