57 Chassis C4 Corvette Front and Rear, Stage 4 + SS Kit + 32 Gallon Fuel Tank by HRJ
One we built for Don in San Antonio, Hes close enough for me to go take photos for him and post up. He's got a 57 4 Door Sedan and a 2 Door Hardtop he can't decide which to put on the chassis just yet. He's also tied up between an LS2 and LS3. I'm trying to talk him into a build LQ block and have some real fun.
The highlights
Hot Rod Jim C4 Frame # 46
Stage 4 rolling chassis
92 Corvette suspension front and rear
Dana 44 Differential with 3.73 gear upgrade
SS kit
I'm trying to trade him my basket case 2 Door hard top for his 4 Door Sedan so I can have a 57 again but this time I can really use it. I loved my 2 door but it was just hard to take people or stuff in a 2 door. If you don't remember I only had my Black Widow 57 Sedan with a very similar chassis for 7 months and I put almost 12k on the clock, since I live at the shop I have no commute, that was driving anywhere because the car would get 28 MPG if you drove like a civilized person and would run 13.2 on street tires with 58 PSI in them, all day long on pump gas. So I plan on making a new DD car and dumping the Subaru. We'll see, his hardtop's in rough shape and mines all there and I have new quarters for it. Should be fun, I'll keep you all posted.

SS kit
- QA1 dual adjustable coil over shocks

- 0-90 ohm sending unit
- all AN hardware
- easily removable flex lines from under the car

Hey whats up Russell i didnt know you had a account here, i came to your shop like last year with my buddy Al.
Looks like a cool build, your frames are awesome. You should tell your buddy to build a LQ block and boost it!
