1968 Chevelle with C4 suspension -Project thread-

[Tiger]

Dear All,

I've mostly been posting on P-T.com but I've also been bouncing back and forth on lateral-g for a few years now, I've never made a thread about MY car tho. I figured its about time to let you know whats done, what I'm working on and what the plans are....

The car:
The car is a 1968 Chevelle coupe I bought in 97/98, I drove it for a few years and even drove it from Norway to Italy when I moved here.
When I bought the car it was nice-from-far but far-from-nice, it had a roller-cammed SBC, a M21 and a 12bolt so it was great fun.
About five/six years back I decided it needed an upgrade, I worked on it regularly for some time and then due to allot of circumstances the car was parked in the garage and the doors shut.

What have been done:
The front part of the frame have been modified to accept a Corvette C4 front suspension, QA1 coilovers and Porsche six-piston Brembo calipers and 14.25" x 1.25" rotors.
The engine and trans sits in the boxed frame, the engine (for now) is a 355cid SBC with ported fuelie heads (future plans are for more inches and nicer heads). The trans is a D&D Viper T56.
The rear of frame has been narrowed to accept the Corvette C4 rear and QA1coilovers, the rear is all installed and spot welded.
One stainless header done, one to be finished

What is to be done:
Install front and rear sway bars
Buy and install rear 14.25" rotors and Porsche four-piston Brembo calipers
Lift the body and blast it, finish the floor and firewall
Paint, bodywork, wheels, driveshaft, wiring, finish exhaust, plumbing, etc, etc

I’ll post some pics and update this thread as I procede with the work.

I havent done much but the swaybar is measured up, the endlinks are made and holes are drilled in the frame.
