I say very good job on building your own front crossmember for the c4 suspension, like you i would love to purchase the dropmember for nate but i dont see the point in spending that type of money right now ( no offense to nate, i know that what he has to charge to make a profit), i too am going to build my own c4 suspension setup/ thank you for the inspiration and keep up the great work this thing is looking amazing
I can't remember if it is stock or if we changed it a little, I will measure the next time I am over there but it may be a week or two since I am due to be a father any day now and it is at my fathers shop. If I remember right we got it off my brothers 69 camaro that is using a custom subframe with c4 suspension.
Thanks, Kade


I asked my father if he remembered and he said it was stock if that helps. I can measure the angle if needed just let me know.

Congratulations. He looks like a big healthy boy. We need to start a new club on the board called the "Insomnia Club". Those of us with newborns are shoe-ins. Congratulations.

Thanks to all, yes he is a big boy for sure. The wife is a little sore to say the least but she was only in labor for 8 hours and only pushed for 2 hours.

On another note, have you got that top painted yet? Shot me some pics when you get it done...
Thanks, Kade

Check back with us after she's experienced a few weeks on end with getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep every night! They tend to renege on ya! Luckily, mine are FINALLY past that stage!

Yes Congratulations as well it is a great thing.

Now what is all this negative talk about lack of sleep. Heck my son now 14months old has been sleeping through the night since he was 3weeks old! Yep goes to bed by 7-7:30pm and wakes up at 6am every darn night. I need to figure out a way to build a set of prints for that and sell it! I could retire in a matter of weeks!
