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.Don Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).

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

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
