Thanks for the feedback. I'm still weighing the options. If I use a C10 cross member then I will have to narrow it. Have considered the Camaro sub frames but the 37 Buick uses the rails of chassis to locate the front fenders. The 37 rails are 32.5" wide in at firewall and 26.5" wide at the axle. The control arms are also angled rearwards (See picture). The Camaro sub frame has been used successfully for models a couple of years later but I have not seen or heard of a clean install for my year car. I also already have 5 on 5 wheels purchased for this project.
Do you think 72 C10 control arms would be 73 better and why?
