I've been hiding in the shop working on a way to put 84 Corvette suspension in my 52 Chevy. I found a couple of ways to do it but I didn't want to spend $800 on square tubing. Especially when I have a tubing bender, press brake and metal laying around.

I'm trying to post up a few pictures.

Made from 3/16 plate, some 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM, and the bent pieces are 1 3/4 .090 wall DOM.

Have a few details I'm still working on. I still haven't found out if the lower A Arm mounts are level front to back or if the whole assembly should be tilted back in the truck frame.

Any thoughts?
