Finally, a pic of my new frame!
Finally, a pic of my new frame! Seems like the car and all associated parts will be staying, and as soon as I move back home (living/caring for my Mother who is terminal), work can start. Car is last on list of things to do with life right now. Also, my wife has been in two accidents within 5 days of each other, both the other party's fault, she is hurt, her car is AFU, and the bumper on my truck has been re-arranged.
I have finished smoothing out 2 of the control arms, 3/4 of the way with the third, one to go. Here is a pic of an upper.

Sounds like life is against you right now. Others have it worse so keep your head up and you'll be able to enjoy your hobby in no time!
Parts look great, isn't it a great feeling to have new parts lying around waiting to be installed?

Thanks to all of you for the kind words.
I am trying to at least get some things done and will hopefully start after the new-year.
More pics to follow, I hope to document the whole build with pics.

Well put ls1_chevelle!
ahowudoin, thanks for the kind words, it is greatly appreciated.
The frame uses '87 Corvette suspension with coil-overs and front steer rack and pinion, so no need to mess with the pan.
This frame uses standard type motor mounts, with a mount adapter to the block. The S&P design moves the engine back about 1-3/4", helping with weight distribution, exhaust clearance (I'm using Z-06 manifolds), and has clearance for factory a/c.
Go to www.waynedue.com for more pics and info on the frame. It is an awesome piece of work, a work of art. And the handling is at the top of the list of what can be done to first gens!!!
