Introduction / Overview:
When I got this car, it had already been back halfed, albeit badly. The wheelbase was different from left to right, the four link bars were too short, and the shock mounts were f'ed up. It had a 10 bolt rear in it that was too narrow, the tires rubbed the tub screws. The main frame rails were not completely welded to the Chevelle frame, etc, etc, etc. Look carefully at the pictures and you can easily see the progress we have made in the past year, although the car was in storage for about 6 mos.
