Just got my *** kicked on the HAMB for posting this by all the traditionalists. That was not my goal... just want some thoughts and even open some eyes to something new and cool.
"Let me start by stating that I am looking for feedback from guys that enjoy going "Outside the box". I would prefer positive feedback but am willing to listen to opinions from all. NOTE: this is MY car and i am going with Corvette suspension.
I am a lover of traditional rods and have built a shoebox ford to the "acceptable standards", however I'm bored with it and ready to do something different. I have a 28 A Tudor that is in great shape and is dying to be chopped and channeled. I can't bring myself to go straight axle with the technology that is out there in the way or IRS/IFS. I have both C4 ('85) and C5 ('99) units with under 60K on both units. I am beginning my chassis designs for both setups but want some feedback from the group on thoughts. Biggest negative with the c5 is the rear transmission, however it will afford me more legroom in a very small car. I'm 5'11" so I opted for a sedan to begin with. I want to drive the **** out of it in "reasonable" weather. The goal is to have performance, comfort, style and function... I don't believe anyone can argue against that goal. If you can share something useful in the thread, please do... Smitty "
Really just want some input and general thoughts. I'm definitely leaning towards the C5 LS1 Technology
