Projects using C4 parts

Many forum readers have built different hotrods in their lives, and some have used C4 parts to do it. I would like to hear about (and see if there are pictures) the projects being tackeled in members garages. Thanks, Joe

I put a C4 suspension under my '69 and my '51 Chevy pickup.

Great thread. Hope a some will chime in with pics. I have a junk 93 that is destined for some type of project car. The unibody has been compromised.

I have a 4+3 in my 57 chevy pickup along with the L98 block, exhaust manifolds, and I am about to install the TPI on it. I have a 3:07 for the 86 vette, and the 2:58 will find it's way into the pickup when I find a 82 camaro cast iron 4 speed that I can take the gears out of.

They do! My dd El Camino had a weak 305 with the metric 200 trans. I took an '86 L98 and an '85 700R4 and put them in and made it a MUCH nicer truck/car.

Here's a friend on mine's 1950 Buick Special with a L98 under the hood.

He built in a sort of rat rod style. It's still got the old paint, but with brand new chrome and a spotless interior.
