Vette brakes front suspension parts? Looks similar to what my friend has on his 65' Roadster. I <3 ARH headers. You're going to have a great road car when finished.

Damn Eric ,you have been busy ,what is happening with the Chevelle ,the Vette looks great .

Looks like a great project...the suspension should make a huge difference.
Can i ask how come you didnt go with a rack n pinion steering.

Honestly, there was not much incentive to do a rack on the car. First was the expense of adding a rack and second was desire to simplify the front not knowing what was going to fit with the LS motor and 3rd, less moving/serviceable parts.

The Borgeson box that was installed is much like the Jeep Grand Cherokee box that we do on our Chevelles. It provides a modern feel and great response. In fact if you look up the winner of this year's Goodguys Autocross Championship it was a 72 Corvette with a Borgeson box rather than a rack & pinion. A beautiful car too! If I planned on putting fender flares on my car, I would want it to look very much like his!
