Alrighty then - welcome to Ybodyness! I've got a storeroom full of spare body/suspension parts if needed.

Correct - the profile is different. Also, the duct plenums won't work on the Vette, nor will the shift knob.

That ZL1 should drop right in, tho, no prob

On the wheels, I need a shipping price (when you get time) and I have to find out if the GTA's will clear C4HD brakes (could be an issue).

"I am looking for panhard, shock tower brace, subframe connectors. 97 Trans Am. What do you got? "

PM sent, two in line for panhard, no subs, my stb is kinda unique.

"Also, the duct plenums won't work on the Vette, nor will the shift knob"

I was going to see if the plenums would modify easily to work ... if not I'll put them up for grabs too. I was planning on filling the knob with epoxy, then redrilling and tapping it.

"I have to find out if the GTA's will clear C4HD brakes (could be an issue). "

The car originally had 1LE brakes with these wheels and no issues. Dunno if that helps.

"That ZL1 should drop right in tho, no prob"

Nah, I've finally pulled my head out of a dark place and decided the ZL1 will stay in the '68, where it belongs. If I don't start driving it once in a while, though, I might bury my head again and consider selling it.

Kevin, the GTAs work with the C4HD brakes that Baer sold me, but they cut down the rotors from 13" to 12" and provide a modified caliper mounting bar. Stock C4 HD brakes will not fit inside the GTA wheels.
PS - I see that you shipped the damper today, and the check is on its way too. thanks!

I was afraid the C4HD's wouldn't fit. I have the full sized rotors with mine and I guess I'm going to need to keep looking for IROC wheels. Crap.

Damper went out this morning. Thanks again!

I'm planning on pulling the engine and trans this weekend, then the car will go on stands and the suspension will come apart. Interest and "dibs" on parts not yet at the money exchange point are as follows (let me know if you've contacted me and aren't on the appropriate list):

LCAs and torque arm: pascoZ28

Panhard: 93zder 1st, 1997TA 2nd

Swaybars: 93zder

Front coilovers: C3SS

Clutch package: rocktman1

GTA wheels: trackbird 1st, ReEntryRacer 2nd

Front LCAs: Billy Ocean

As stuff comes off and isn't spoken for, I'll add it (with pics) to the original post, so stay tuned.

So we'll be getting some prices soon then?

Yep, soon. I teach, first week of school, been too busy to figure out a fair price for the suspension stuff. Or to roll around on the garage floor pulling stuff off. Bad timing on my part. Sorry for the delay.

Quite alright. Educators in this country are, for the most part, very underpaid IMHO...take all the time you need and thanks for doing what you do!

Prices posted for suspension components. I think they're fair, yell at me if they aren't.

While working on the cars tonight, I decided to keep the red Z06 calipers for the new one, so changed the ad to Trackbrackets only. If anyone is really hot after the brakes as originally offered, let me know. I can be re-persuaded.

I just took a better look at your shock tower brace/breather tube set up. Very nifty. I love to see stuff like that.
Where are the hoses going down to?

Thanks. It always gets some comments in the paddock.



2 qt catch can mounted in front of the wheel well.
