Re: 1970-1972 Chevelle frame...what will get me bounced?
 

i don't see how it's be any different than subframe connectors BUT i don't make the rules...



jeff,wanna send me one of those "free" rulebooks?
(must be a west coast book)..;)

Re: 1970-1972 Chevelle frame...what will get me bounced?
 

If I had unlimited money to abuse the rulebook like I would like to then, I wouldn't have asked a soul about this frame question...I just don't want to be the guy who gets tossed after building a caged car just to cut it apart.. ya know...

Thanks for the advise.

It's free, it's online and it's at www.nhra.com

Re: 1970-1972 Chevelle frame...what will get me bounced?
 

Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like the rule book is 10.00 + shipping.......

yeah, even the "free" downloadable one wants you to give them your membership number

I guess I always assumed those building or owning a class car were NHRA or IHRA members and had access to a rulebook :confused:. My bad but that sure explains a lot!

Here is the link and as Tom pointed out, you will need to be a member. You can then download your own copy which is free with membership.

So to those out there contemplating owning or driving a class car, I strongly suggest becoming a member, knowing the rulebook, subscribing to Nitro Joes Stats and going to your local class race and talking to the participants.

Merry Christmas to all!

The Buick GS cars are supposed to have extra bracing in the rear of the frames. They also had a support bracket that went from the frame to the mounts for the lower control arms.

Re: 1970-1972 Chevelle frame...what will get me bounced?
 

is that the same ones that tie the upper and lower control arm mounts together?
that was a factory deal for ALL A bodys.
must be a reason for 'em cuz just about every chevelle/montecarlo/elcamino i've ever owned (a bunch) had 'em..
