Re: Feedback from the Flatout C4 users

I'd assumed I'd have to use a Shockwave to bag it with the C4 setup. While i have your attention, what have been the obstacles on the Dropmember for the 55-59 trucks? I have a 59 now and money burning a hole in my pocket but i dont want to go the M2 route for the front.
i know i could go the Camaro clip route but I'd like to go R&P while I'm doing all that work.

The obstacles of making a Dropmember for the tri-fives is the trac-width and frame width. To get the truck down low, and have the wheels tuck enough to get good steering clearance, the rails would have to come up and be narrowed. I have a 57 chassis in the shop right now that we are doing a weld-in front and rear section. It will be riding at 5.5" and set-up on coil-overs. I should have it all finished up by the end of next week and will send you some pics. I do have plans of figuring out a front end for these trucks that would be easily installed by the end user.... just hasn't been enough time in the day!
