Hello, I just joined today so that I can pick the brains of the Vette guys here.
I am about to start converting a 1957 Chevy Tudor Sedan to C4 suspension. I am just now getting started, and the guy who is going to do the frame conversion has done a bunch of these, so I expect that all I will be doing is reassembling everything and moving the body from the current frame to the converted frame. Hope to get the modified frame sometime in March.

I am going to have lots of questions about the Corvette stuff I am using so stand by.
