Talking "Blu" the Generic Made Chevy...

Thanks guys!

I honestly don't know the drop in inches as the suspension is completely custom front and back.

Front:

Mcgaughy Drop Spindles
AFCO Double Adjustable Coilovers

This leaves a 1" gap from the top of the front 28" tire to the wheel well.

Rear:

Ladder Bars
Strange Fabricated 9"
C-Notched
Tubbed
AFCO Double Adjustable Coilovers

This tucks the rear 30" tire 1" in the fender well.

Front tires shown are M&H 28x4.5x17's on a Centerline Split Spoke 17x4's

Rear tires are Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 315/60/15's on Centerline Split Spoke 15x10's

You and me both man!

Well, I went to Kens shop Friday. He was working on tubbing the bed and setting up the rear end/ladder bars.

Decided to go with a full Chomolly cage, Kirkey race seats, and a fire safe system.

Also ended up going with a set of Brodix BR7 heads that Chris @ Frankenstein Racing heads had already worked his magic on. The guy that was getting them made backed out on them so I got them for 1250 less then they were worth. They already have Jesel rockers also and should only flow slightly less then the much more expensive All Pro's. He is currently port matching the Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold to them and installing the valvetrain.

Still at least three months out from completion but its slowly getting there.

The trans should be done soon. Which is a Jakes Stage 4 and a TCS 4400-4600 stall, Jakes will be dyno testing it also.

Within the month the motor will be done also. So all that will be holding it up is getting the chassis done and then installing everything.
