Here are new pics of the finished frame. Most important section to strengthen is the rear upper control arm crossmember. They tend to pull out.

Being a newby I would say that I am surprised you are allowed to triangulate the stock suspension mounts with DOM tubing. Then again the rule book doesn't say you can't. If and when we put the 396 in our 69 Chevelle to go C/S racing I am going to do the same. Have you talked to your Division Tech about where the triangulation 'stops' being legal? Good looking build.

To Alan Peters, Jr
Alan I remember going over to your house and seeing the 66 or 65 Impala you had in progress and showing me the gusseting you did and telling me about all those problems with big Chevies. I can't even remember if it was the 80's or 90's but it inspired me to build the 1968 Impala i had into a stocker. Thanks for the inspiration! Will Lamprecht - 65 Impala I/SA 396/325 in progress. |

Very nice of you to share this build... we don't see enough of that. GREAT car, and love the sound in the video from 2003 !
