Karl, I am glad you had a good experience, but I was not just venting. My experience was extremely bad. I live in the Albuquerue area and would love to check out your project sometime. Looked you up and see you have a car dealership, might stop by sometime and see if your car is around. P.S...

SOLD GTS Extended Rear Fenders $350 plus shipping SOLD Have a set of rear extended fenders from GTS, $350.00 plus shipping. Email Wilkinshc@msn.com or Pm Thanks

It was for the diff.,1480 half shafts, trailing arms, leaf spring, half shaft loops, and hubs. Basically the complete rearend with all the accessories. It's been about 2 1/2 years since I got it but I am pretty sure everything was about 10k.

That sound good. I would add 4-5k for the little stuff. With the motor and tranny you are doing I would stay with the stock frame and just weld it up and maybe brace it up in the place the road racers recommend. If you do a search, you should find post on bracing the frames. Was the rearend...

Tom's converts the diff to a 12 bolt, a lot work goes into the prep on the housing, 31 spline axles, 1480 ujoints, 3 1/2 half shafts, and many other special parts. They hold up routely to 1000hp motors. What I would ask is what are you doing yourself and what are you paying others to do...

RedRicer, No the second frame is for a 63 impala. I did the stock frame but wish I would have went the srIII frame instead. Quick breakdown: ZL1 - 20k 2004r & torque convert- 6k Tom's Reared- 10k steeriods rack-1200 fuel tank- 1k vbp suspension-1500 ssbc brakes-2k Dash/guages-1500 a/c-1200...

I originally planned a 30k build so I with the stock frame direction but which I had went with the srIII frame. You sound just like I did when I started. Right now I have VBP front a-arms, Streeroids rack, QA1 double adjustable shocks, Tom's Differential, ZL1 Ramjet, 200-4r tranny, c3 fronts...

I see your post about selling your rolling chassi so I take it you decided to go aftermarket. I would have to agree, go with a srIII frame with c5 front and rear suspension. Actually the cheapest would be to buy a car already done but if you want the fun of doing it yourself and don't care...

I could not agree more. DITTO

I would love to trade for that 37 ford you have! :D How you do? You'll have to call when you come thru town again. Chuck

The reason I am looking at sell is I built a new office building and tapped out my vette fund so it will be a while till I can finish it and now I have an opportunity that I could make some quick money at. So I don't have to sell but would like to. Thanks for asking and the compliment. Chuck

After having the vette (dream car) and 36-37 ford (hot rod). The next car would be Saleen S7 (autobahn racer). :D After the family, health, and those cars, I would be in Heaven! Chuck

No, not me. I had said after the Vette the 36-37 ford was my 2nd favorite car. And now you bought one.

Herb, Are you looking to adopt any kids? I hear my mom is looking to give one away. :D We were just talking about the 36-37 fords when we went lunch. Next time you come, we'll talk about the Saleen S7. :beer Chuck

Herb, Even if you don't have time for Corvettes that would be fine, I would like to still offer to buy you & your family lunch. We are in the process of building a new office and the vette is in limbo for right now so not much it happening to it now anyway. Chuck

If you do make it to NM, please give me a shout. I live here in Rio Rancho Nm. The balloon fiesta is a good time. I have lived here for 14yrs and don't seem to make it much anymore but I guess that's the way it goes when you live right next to something. I would love to buy you lunch, I...

Wow, guess I am the only one using red that much, maybe I have some weak red locite. I used it on my halfshafts (bolt to the inner and outer spindles), after my powder coating was damaged I had to remove them (16 bolts) and I had no problems removing them. I also installed the 4 center bolt on...
