Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build

Hers some more pics of the chassis so far. Once I get the frame all welded up with cross braces, trans mount, bed mounts, panhard and the sway bar mounts I can move on to other things.

The rear end needs some dressing up and most likely will need that spool removed for street use. The 3rd member is brand new but needs to be gone through none the less to make sure it is right. It is a 31 spline Strange S-series which should be strong enough for some BBC horsepower! Im thinking an O/D transmission will also help with the 3:73 gears on the highway... possibly?

The drum backing plates will be removed and exchanged for some Wilwood 13" disc setups with Dynalite 4 piston calipers. I have some new Superlites I had from an old project but will probably not be using them on this. Need to buy a whole kit for this.
