Does anyone have, or no where to go for pics of the bare/stripped down C4 chassis? Hopefully from different angles..etc.

or even technical drawings?

Thanks!
Mark

Unfortunately you won't be able to see one as the C-4 was a uni-body design and the only seperate frame was the front frame section from the firewall forward. I can show you what a C-2 looks like with the full '96 GS suspension though.

Ok I did finally find a few... The owner of these pics might be a forum member I'm not sure. i found these on a web site after quite the search.








Hope these turn out... these are exactly what i was looking for... I only wish they were bigger/higher resolution pics.

Ronaustin I love your pics!! i will be quite interested to know how that vette turns out with that updated drivetrain and engine... looks gorgeous! Should take some weight off from origional...?

Thanks Mark,
Actually it came out fantastic. Took 3 1/2 years to do, but was well worth it. I finished the project in June of 2000 and car was featured on the cover of "Vette" in January of 2001. here are a couple of pictures.
