    You should be able to get money for the rear end, if it isn't sloppy. Even if it is, someone could probably have use for it

    I checked it out pretty cool stuff! I like the idea of not having the X Frame and moving to a more prelimiter style. Because of the floor pan I will do a hybrid of the original frame and include triangulation to the rear off the original frame.

    Found a better way to adjust the suspension as build out the frame around a Corvette C4 rear unit with air ride. This makes it a little easier and safer to raise the tires into the wheel wells, simulating the air out. I can now configure preferred ride height and max ride height. If you look at previous pictures I would manually set the heights with steel post and balance it. I use ratchet straps for safety. 358C5839-4935-46B4-BC04-14803660E280.jpeg C9526E29-AF69-4BA5-840F-3F7E49FF5F35.jpeg
