- Four wheel Wilwood brakes - 12" disc, 4 pot calipers
- Ford 9" with True Track, with three link and a watts link
- Coil over shocks
- IFS Sport front suspension with C4 Corvette drop spindles, rack & pinion steering
- Exhaust openings in the rear crossmember for 3" exhaust

bracing prior to blasting and sub frame removal
Attached are photos of bracing I'm using.
Inside the car bracing is a copy of one I found on this site.
Front fender bracing is an idea from my welder. One brace runs from the hood hinge mounting to the outer bumper bracket mount, and then from the bumper bracket to the front jacking point mounting.
An addition cross brace in the engine compartment runs between the front inner fenders.
The rear is braced in the differential well.
We also added an additional bracket/brace to the rear rotisserie mount.

Chassis modifications
Alphatrev,
Frame and Body
First the shuda. But then someone told me I should not should on myself.
Plan should have included at least a 1/2" intrusion into the floor with the frame. As designed, fingers crossed, the car will be 1/2 inch higher than original, and with 4 1/2" ground clearance.
All factory rails will be removed. Inside of rear wheel wells will be moved in to the outside of the new frame rail. Front rail is almost 1 1/2" wider at the outside than the measurement outside to outside of the flange lip of the front rail. Al leas, I will be rolling the front fender lip in for clearance, and at worst widening the front fenders.
The factory jacking boxes will be tied to the sides of the new rails.
Tub repair
There are a few bumps, dings, bondo, and pin holes. My plan is to use panel adhesive and thin steel patch behind the pin holes - the ones I can get to with the patch. I was concerned about the front floors above the jacking boxes - maybe three pin holes on the passenger front floor.
