Need references for chassis/suspension fabrication work in Houston area please
Looking at a 31 Model A coupe that has C3 'vette rear in it. The seller is down to a very very low price. It has a C3 'vette rear suspension in it. Ride height is way too high, and the tires way too far outboard. I see no way to fix this, it's all due to the unsuitability of the C3 setup to a Model A.
I'm thinking that if I tale this plunge, the fastest, cheapest and easiest way to fix it would be to tear out the whole Corvette setup, and put a 4 link/coilover setup under the car with a Ford 9" rear.
I know what a 9" costs, and the associated parts, but can anyone give me a guesstimate of the labor? This is beyond my skill set. Also, does anyone have a shop in the Houston area they can recommend to do this work?
Thanks.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
