Joey Pants 1960 Corvette Project

When I hit the Lotto

This is the Jim Meyer Pro Turing direct-replacement mandrel-bent 2 x 4 box-tube chassis with Narrowed Rear Frame Rails. It features tubular upper A-arms 7/8-inch x .156-inch wall and 1-inch x .156-inch wall lower tubular A-arms connected to stock GM 67-72 Chevelle disc brake spindles. It will include a Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering unit featuring 3-turns lock-to-lock. The fully adjustable (stance) front suspension utilizes aluminum coilover shocks or optional ShockWave air springs that connect to a front multi-hole adjustable upper-tower attachment point for about 3-inches of stance adjustment and 2-position lower A-arm coilover or ShockWave mount to give you the stance you want (with 4-inches of total adjustment)! The differential is a narrowed Ford 9" with 3:73:1 final drive ratio. The front brakes are Wilwood 6-piston calipers with 13-inch drilled and ball-milled rotors. The rear are 4-piston with 12.19 rotors have an internal parking brake (drum) and are also drilled and ball-milled.

The engine will be upgraded to World Products Motown LS1 427. I love the LS1 in my 2001 Convertible although the 600hp Motown LS1 may be a little much for the 2800lb 1960 Vette. I think the old school lower end merged with the contemporary heads is awesome.

This is my goal!
