Re: Project 59 Fleetside

Now for the second gen camero front end install. This was possible after hours of reading this forum the HAMB and watching a video I purchased from Rob at No Limit Engineering. I am happy with the results but would be happier if I had purchased a wide ride kit from Rob.

Re: Project 59 Fleetside

This is a little bit of insurance with a fish plate and my twist on the second gen IFS install.

Some of the components after sandblasting, new bushings, and fresh paint.

Re: Project 59 Fleetside

Here is where I learned to steal with pride as the bracing for the chassis is stolen directly from the design on Wes Drelleshak's truck.

I also was testing out the fit of the 18" wheels.

Re: Project 59 Fleetside

Here are some pictures to show the 295 35 18s I hope to run. Tight fit on the front as you can see.

Also visible is the C6 calipers and 14" rotors from Kore3. I will be removing the corvette logs as this clearance is required to clear the wheels.

Re: Project 59 Fleetside

Working in a one car garage you need to have the ability to roll the project in and out but the further the project moves along the heavier she is getting and the less I want to roll it.
