    C4 swap

    So I finally got my frame out from under the body and into the garage to do the suspension after purchasing a front and rear kit from laszlo back in 2012 hopefully I can keep a steady pace over the winter and at least get it back on its own wheels but something will probably slow me down but I try to post as much as I can on my progress just don't hold your breath haha

    Looks great! I just pulled all my upgraded, but stock suspension off my '56 getting ready for one of Lazlo's front C4 conversions. Found a local fellow who bought everything off my stock front end...really helped offset the overall cost!

    Still gotta pull the motor, but can't wait to see that Corvette suspension on the front end!

    1/2" out I'd fix it regardless of the specs.

    I would be careful using the body mounts because the tolerances on their location are pretty wide. There are some holes that are referenced in the frame drawing that would be better. Make sure the frame is square before you fit the clip. Once you cut the front off you can square it up pretty easily if it's not square now.
