Guys,
I spent the weekend finally getting the suframe and suspension ready for when the 67 returns from the body shop, (a couple more weeks is what they said). :sad:

The only thing left to do is get the caliper steel lines, tie rods, and steering box installed. Just for future reference I sent the 4 piston calipers to Vette Brakes in FL. It cost $120 each for total rebuild including S/S sleeves. When I called them (3 days after shipping) to check to see if they had received them, I found out that they were ready to ship back.....excellent turn around time.

I hope to have the 396 back together and in the frame by next weekend. :thumbsup:

The second picture should be archieved somewhere....it is the correct GM big block engine frame mounts. This question comes up a lot when people are doing the conversion...pictures are worth a thousand word. :yes:

Skip,
Thanks for the compliment. I'm still waiting for a few parts to finish it, so I have moved onto the motor rebuild. Hopefully I can get it in the subframe this weekend.

Wife was not real happy when she found out the dishwasher was used as a parts washer while she was out shopping. :noway:
