You truck is looking great! I have a question. I have a 55 TF that I am starting on as soon as my son and I complete his 1966 GTO. I have an 96 corvette front end (Complete/cut out with the CVT frame rails) that I could use in the 55, but I want this truck to be a DD, and I am concerned about how low the front would sit. I think your static height was approximately 5 inches (frame rails to ground), but I think I want more than that. In your fabrication, did you see a problem with possibly raising the Static height of the rails by welding the frame higher up on the Corvette cross support?

Thanks for any insight you may have.
