I just picked up a 56 Hardtop that someone years ago grafted a late 60's early 70's Chevelle front clip on. My question is there any body that makes shorter control arms so I can have more tire clearance up front?

Do you know the wheel mounting surface width on that front suspension? What size tires and what width wheel, and wheel offset or backspacing do you have? Your best bet is probably to get wheels with more offset rather than mess with the a-arms.

I agree but I like to have a little more outside lip on the wheel.
