Jordan White Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just completed this build. I used the rollbar from the USA-1 kit, the flares are from the old GMC Jimmy kit, I added some slash cut exhaust tips, raised the suspension, wired the engine bay, and swapped in an auto trans. Oh yeah, I also grafted on the cowl induction scoop from the '70 Chevelle kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Just used some square rod for the spring front mounts and made some shackles for the spring rear mounts. You can see how I did it in the chassis pic. Edited December 19, 2012 by Jordan White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
