nice car.what size wheels? did he mini tub?

[JMitch19]

The wheels are 17X8.5 with 245/45/17's all the way around. Spacers were used in the back. It is a very tight fit, but it hasn't had any rubbing troubles yet.

Was there a lot of fab work to get the T56 in? Tunnel clear?

What kind of suspension is he running in the rear? What kind of front clip is that? Did he have track width problems with the C-4 front end and have to go with the severe backspace on the front wheels?

Wow, this thread has come back from the dead...

The rear suspension is basically stock with 3 inch drop springs and BeCool stocks.

The front sub came from a shop called JimEase's Chassis. They are a very very bad company to deal with. It took three months to ship the sub after already charging his credit card(they had the business next door run the card for them because they can't take credit cards) They did not return phone calls. They only shipped the frame after he got his credit card company involved. Even then it took another month. When the frame finally arrived it was missing the rack & pinion and tie rods. The finished product is very nice, but it took cleaning up some welds, rewelding some spots, modifying the inner fenders, and gathering parts that should have been included to get it there.

The wheels are all 17x8.5. They are all ment to be on the front of a Vette. The fronts were bolt on and go. (Stock vette back spacing) The rears required spacers.

The tunnel did require mods, but nothing to bad. It was basically cut like a T. It was then bent to fit. The motor & tranny were pulled back out and if memory serves me a 2 inch fill panel was used across the top of the T and a 2.5-3 incher filled in the middle.

Hey Steve, Chevy HiPo had a VERY similar(copycat) car featured last month, this one sure would look good in PHR… ;)
