    Building a chev rolls royce

     



    Thinking of putting a Rolls Royce Shadow I on a c20 chassis
    running every thing chev just with a Rolls body. I already have
    the Rolls. I must have the strength as this car will be used in
    the OUTBACK of Australia. Any ideas?

    My Silver Shadow is sitting on a modified El Camino frame using a hydroboost for brakes.
    These are difficult conversions because of the unitbody construction.
    The windshield wiper motori is on the left side of the firewall thus, it has to be removed for firewall mounted brakes.

    You have to put it on a 4x4 chassis, that would be so cool.

    We are still building our chevy rolls. The last thing in the world we do is keep the rolls brakes. Our whole brake system will be
    Holden when only the best will do! Good old Aussie brakes. They can stop our V8 race cars so they will stop our roller.More info later
