Here suspension is put this under the car to get an idea how wide it will be. I have some rust issues to take care of prior to getting suspension fit. Also want to get interior cage built and build off that. Will most likely tie in corvette frame rails as engine and trans fit inside. Need to put a bar in rear off car that sticks out about 2 inches and rear rails should weld up. Leaf springs might be an issue and will convert to coil over if that Is the case.

I think I might be able to get away with 3 inch flares on either side. The track is 72 inches with 305 35 18 nitto nt1. So maybe an expert can chime in? Also have engine semi prepped need to take off truck harmonic balancer and add the corvette one I have. Have intake off that needs to be flipped and f body oil pan needs put on and turbo drain feed drilled. So really the 2 days I spent getting the stuck in header bolts off and trying to find a decent pair of heads. That is semi prepped I guess. The f body oil pan is is only 5 inches deep compared with the 9 inch truck pan. Dry sump was considered but cost was too great. About just trashed the 5.3 and bought a 6.0 due to heads but the 100 bucks it drill bits saved the day. As the screw removers got stuck in two bolts and broke off. Which blows or blew as getting them out was a nightmare. Plus the 5.3 will put out more than enough power for the boxster trans. Which when c8 comes out will probably get replaced with that trans.

Eric is a good guy and does awesome work, but he's very slow.
I like the power steering assist idea. I don't like the controller, seems like you will need to turn the potentiometer all the time. Is there a aftermarket controller that listens to a VSS instead?

Thanks mbesto and Tim I am not sure exactly how it works, it's my understanding you only need to turn it to set how much assist you would like.. I spent the day stripping goo from door sills and getting rear of trunk smoothed down.

Here I got a little over zealous with the sawzall. Though the inner fender walls are too far apart for tire/a-arms so will fab own wells after rear frame gets installed

This is when you just stare for 2 hours wondering exactly how this is going to happen.

Yes Ericks products look great and he was slow. I didn't need it anytime soon but a more accurate timeliness would have been appreciated but I would do buisnesses with him again.

Here is am getting an ides of the well that I need as this is tire off floor this needs 2 inches added to it and suspension travel. Got some ideas but nothing yet. Also the rear frame rails are mocked up. Going to release really in morning just to be sure.

In the land of coulda, shoulda, woulda I would have bought the rails with the rear bumper attached. As I will have to fab one and by fab one I mean order one off ebay.. also an area on concern in the lower suspension subframe working with the porsche boxster trans in regards to clearance so then I would have to get a flipped g50 and not deal with the shifty ratios. Unless of course the g50 has shifty ratios as well. Also anyone recommend a good axle fabricator? I would also want to know if anyone has used a painless wiring kit? As I just chopped all the wires off as a lot were rusted out. Actually that last part about being rusted out is bullshit...lol

This harmonic balancer took about 8 hours total to get off 3 different pullers where used but it's done. The suspension below came off the car if someone wants it. The front shock on passenger side is damaged and the rear no no brakes. I sent them to someone and they disappeared in mail.
