Jim Pettigrew, the guy doing Jimmy Johnson's car, built the headers for that vette and DSE is putting a vintage air unit in it. The vette has a C4 suspension front and rear with a 502 ram jet motor.

Yea I am sure your car is a piece. Is it really still on the fab side? I would have figured it would be close to completion by now. Were you not over here about this time last year getting it lined out?

I also have a correction on the motor in that Vette. It is the all aluminum ZL1 Ram Jet.

That is so true. Whats with that? I've had my for a couple of years now and getting to that point.
There's one company [I forget the name] that just started offering fr aluminum control arms.
And you can check with Savistske's, their gettin' into them a bit.

Hello Payton!

Happy not to be alone with this. I know there are not as many vettes as camaros but at least vette had same frame 63-79 ! I am sure there would be some market for good parts.

Aluminium A arms are from Steeroids as is R&P kit for vette. But thats it!

These came out after I bought my tubular adjustables from Savitske tho I'm happy with my purchase. Tall upper ball joint studs from Howe, 18's, BFG/kdw's, Bilsteins, solid bushings and rod ends everywhere, mono leaf front spring. Gettin better all the time. Gotta get some seats into that thing.

I know they are using C4 parts and the rear has been narrowed.
