Right on C4! Hope you don't mind me picking your head on your build from time to time. I have a 51 three window and am doing the C4 IFS and IRS like you are with a LT1 and auto tranny out of a 95 Buick Roadmaster.

Re: 1951 lt1 t56 c4 build!!!
Got any pics of the rear with a side view ?

I am curious about ride height and tire to fender clearance.

Made some good progress on the firewall this weekend just have the drivers side foot panel and the tunnel left.

And if you were wondering the doghouse started life as a wheelbarrow.

Re: 1951 lt1 t56 c4 build!!!
Well it has been 6 years since the last time I made a post on here so I guess it is about time for me to. Ive had some major changes (good changes) in my live over the past few years that has caused this project to be put on the back burner for a while... or more like put back in the fridge..

But it is finally time to get back at it again! I am very excited to be working on this truck again and to share my progress with all of you.

So to get things started here is a picture getting the front end mocked back up. Im getting ready to build a new mount for the front end and install the radiator.

Re: 1951 lt1 t56 c4 build!!!
Starting to rebuild the inner fenders. Im trying to make it look as "factory" as possible but with way more clearance for the wide radiator.
