if the frame is straight... the wheels are in the right spots but how the frame connects those points is a bit, well, avant garde. and I did seriously consider a motor plate, but (and this isn't something I've put out there) my plan is to run this in the Optima Challenge. C3s can compete against the older muscle cars - but there are limits to what you can do to the frame (no roll cage, for instance).... at this point, they haven't said you can't substitute in newer suspensions (not exactly, but running with it now) - so I expect this to be a one-year shot before they close the loophole since i imagine the next 'cowboy' will simply rebody a C7 with a C3 shell and that will be the end of that.... long explanation, but that's why I didn't do motor plates. They do allow bracing (think aftermarket frames) and I may do that.... which is kind of the basis of the question at the end of today's post.
as for kits, give or take the Detroit speed kit is a C5 front without the C5 geometry... what I expect is people clipping in these rear suspensions. I remember a discussion on here about how to improve the C3 suspension (it was talking Guldstrand stuff).... that, ultimately, is what would be the logical step of that discussion....
so we got a bit of snow today
as is normal, everything shut down.edited I went to work, enjoyed the commute because it was pretty much just me
so I came home and did stuff
first box the rear attachment points in
started boxing the bottom - my plan is to flip the frame over the weld the bottom
what I haven't decided is if I need to attach the kick-ups to the cross bar on the old frame....edited
the frame could use some strengthening and perhaps now is the time to try some new things.... I dunno
