progress has been slow had alot going on but still chipping away a little at a time. trying to get the front suspension done here are parts and pieces of the shock towers.
ANY IDEAS WHAT THE FRONT SHOCKS ARE OFF OF?

Thanks for the interest on the build the shocks are going on the chevelle the shocks have clickers on them for the dampening adj. makes a huge difference on a dirt bike or a snowmobile so I say why not a car? one way to find out.

This is how thing can really take a turn for the better or worse depending on how you look at it. After taking more measurements I found that the pinion was 4.250 off set from center and after pricing out a filler bung,drain,axles,seals and bearings,plus narrowing the housing to center pinion. I changed my mind and ordered a new housing and axles that will bolt right in. So all the time grinding, and cleaning for nothing!!
