Thread: 2003 Z06 Vette/ 55 chev

Tweet

Never done one, was working on a design for a guy last summer, he's in a very similar situation with a '56 2 dr. wagon. Got far enough into the dimensions/design to know it is feasable.... His would be a totally new frame incorporating the Vetter rear cradle and front suspension...... Certainly will be an interesting build!!!!!

BCJAKE, Your best bet would be building a custom frame to house the corvette suspension.Not sure if your going to use the motor from the vette? if so this can be incorporated in with the frame along with a rack and pinion set up. Art Morrison can help or Progressive automotive. You can buy the frame with everthing your going to use and just bolt on your suspension.I will give you alittle heads up.Do your planning now in terms of wheel and tire combo.The corvette rears are limited on gear ratio's.And when changing them to accomidate larger tires it get's expensive really quick.But it can be done. We do alot of this sort of fabrication.So if you need some qustions answered we will be happy to help you out and point you in the right direction.
