    ya know, I've been around long enough to remember that car being built. I know the gents who built it as well as the driver of the C1. I lived just down the road 1/2 mile or so in the village of Shannonville, ON. My father was also in the stock car racing scene at that time. He and some of the same gents who built the C1 also help build a previous stocker a few years earlier. My father moved on with that car and go on to a winning career. The funny thing is that the original driver of the C1 chevelle would end up with my father a few years later building other winning cars - I have very fond memories of the racing scene back then. Wish I had of taken more pics tho. You have done a fantastic job breathing life into the old gal. Sure is cool to watch the old C1 cruise down the highway - well done and thank you

    I know this is a bit old now, but I have an S10 frame that I need to widen 4 inches total in the front. I love what you did here and great work. I was wonder though, since I only need 2 inches either side, would it not be easier to widen the control arms (A-arms) the 2 inches I need?

    • @TuquesNTires
      @TuquesNTires 2 місяці тому

      You could probably widen the control arms, but the only thing with that is you might change the suspension geometry a little and if you ever have to replace one you’d have to build another one, if I was to do it again I’d just widen the frame, might seem like more work but probably save you a bit a headaches later. I’m no expert tho, hopefully this is some food for thought!
