Hello,
I've been looking in here for a while now and have to say there are some awesome rides. For the most part they seem to be F body's. Not sure if this is a place for my project or not. I've built a 55 2 dr BelAir with C4 IRS, IFS, Aldan coil overs, an LS1 warmed up w a T56, Baer Brakes, 4.10's. I wanted an older hotrod that would handle well enough for autocross. :_paranoid I may not qualify as a G-Machine:_paranoid

Hey, Thanks for the warm welcome. No interior yet. It's going in end of this week for leather and suede. One it's back I'll finish up the stereo and get back to shaking out the bugs. Our plan is to make the Classic Chevy shop in Pegeon Forge TN. in May

It's a one piece stock frame that Laszlo Nobi in Ft. Collins did for me. I had him tack the C4 IRS and IFS in his jig. This was all new frontier for me.

I'm back on track with my project. We lost our 26 year old son in March. It's been a hard summer but I feel it's time to get back up.
I'll post some pics as it comes together
