Here's one better than a drawing. Never had a panel attached and never been down the BG line. Perfect.
It's being sacrificed to help rebuild my 88 ZR1 EX5023 Prototype.

I have three of them. They were used at General Tire, Marion, IN for test fitment of body panels. General Tire made panels for GM.

The other two are for sale.

Be careful with those

Since half of the C4's have the rear end shifted 1-1/2 inches off center due to body panel misalignment!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing the frame pics guys! No doubt, the C4 frame is stout.
