58 Corvette RACEtoration is back online!

I've been working in the rear of the car. When I had put the car on the ground, it seemed a little high in the back with the new leaf springs. I know a lot of weight still has to be put in the car as it's just a shell. But I removed two of the four leafs from each side

I made provisions for maximum wheelie bar clearance. I notched the rear frame cross member and welded in material for a nice finish. The modification allows the wheelie bars to travel higher, but stop prior to hitting the cars body
