It's not really an off-the-shelf kind of thing. I've got spindles up front, along with ART upper and lower control arms and a capt kaos 1.5" sectioned crossmember. The rear has been notched like a madman using a piece of another frame I got from FRENCHBLUE72... and various clearancing of things that were in the way as a result. If you scan the Suspension forum and dig around on my site(s) (see links in my sigline), there's additional information.

What happened to the "Wallet Eater" in Blue ? The last pics I saw on your site had it painted a nice blue. Is it still in pieces ?

Camaro Thunder-

Any pix of your suspension?

68w/sbc406 · 05-30-2005, 01:31 AM

hey screamin, up here inportland there is a place called charlies drop shop. the guy knows his shtuff. hes been doing it for over 20 years and is a nice guy. just letting you know if you havent heard of him before

*screamin_c102* · 05-30-2005, 01:44 AM

I saw a post on those A arms he makes, they're wicked. I am installing my bags as soon as finals are over (2 weeks). I think my 2600s will rub on the pocket he puts in them. I am gonna go with 2.5 spindles and Suicide Doors cups that have been cut an inch. I'm gonna go with 2" blocks with 2500s in the rear.

I'll be movin' up there after graduation next year, so I'll need you to show me all the cool shops.

68w/sbc406 · 05-30-2005, 01:46 AM

these ones???

can do. i can show you the bars too

bagged_gmc · 05-30-2005, 01:51 AM

Aww man I get my paycheck on the third and have had it spent since last month on my 20's which i need before i bag it ( i cheated though, bout the front half allready HAHAHA don't tell my wheels though SHHHH)

*screamin_c102* · 05-30-2005, 01:54 AM

No, I thought they were more tubular with a deeper pocket in them. I probably got a different brand confused with Charlies. Too many credits and not enough time in the week LOL

I saw those (picture) in a previous post as well. I really like the way he mods the factory arm. Looks real stout and wouldn't interfere with bags at all. The ones you pictured are Charlies right? Arent they close to $400.00 though?

that works. i need to not drink beer anyways

*screamin_c102* · 05-30-2005, 02:10 AM

I could go with those and my bag setup. If I wanted to go even further I could toss drop spindles on her later. Damn that would be a hell of alot of drop.

Are you close enough to Charlies to pick up a set if I sent you the cash? That is if I can talk the boss into it.

68w/sbc406 · 05-30-2005, 02:12 AM

yeah i am like 20 minutes away from there. when i got mine i got the last set he had of the solid bushings. might want to call and find out what he has instock

*screamin_c102* · 05-30-2005, 02:15 AM

I will, I think I've got his website in the favorites on my other computer. I need to get the last of the parts together before I rip the truck apart....again LOL

68w/sbc406 · 05-30-2005, 02:21 AM

know how that is. i need bags and i can dive into the front end of my truck. but i need to get it running cooler first
