~~~~ bagged 1967 520 ~~~~

[airedout]

I would highly suggest going with a slam bag in the front. The firestones expand outward way too much to fit the bag in such a tight location. You are going to have to notch the frame, quite a bit at that. Heres a few pics of mine:

 

 

 

 

 

I wish i still had all my pics, but the engine crosmember had to be cut because the lower arm was hitting it, it was then plated which adds strength to the notched area of the frame. I also added internal plates inside the frame before i placed my cover over the notched frame for some extra strength.

 

 

Also dont forget, if you want to lay full rail, you need to cut the center of the tranny crossmember and modify the bodymount since they hang lower than the frame.

 

 

You may also want to look at your upper control arm mounts, see if your going to going to have enought adjustment to correct your camber at you desired ride height. I re-made my mounts because of this.

UP

[impala_631]

like i said before the truck road like hell,the front was sitting 1/2"off the stops and there rear was bagged with no shocks,so i added shocks to the front when i bagged it and did the rear up last weekend, rides much better now :)

ive took it out for a few test runs (drag sessions:p) and everything seemed ok,so its about time to take the body/bed off to start the stock floor bodydrop,here it is in the driveway ready for dissassembly,the rocker it 4" from the pavement, and the frame is 1 1/2" fromt the ground,so the plan is a 1 1/2"z to get it framed,then a 2 1/2" frame section to get it bodied:blink:

I like the rear shock mounts you made. Looks good laid out.

good work son, nice fast work on the front. Now It would have to be time for a body drop seeing as though you work so fast:D. Looks sweet though

[impala_631]

thanks,i do like to get things done fairly quickly,i want to get the sfbd done before febuary so i can take it to the world of wheels indy in febuary,i think it would fit in nicely into the rat rod room :D
