Section 10A, Page 8 Stock Cars

FRAME

Frame or subframe must be stock for body used.

Nice work though.

The subframe is the original 67 stock frame and may be altered for oil pan removal . My 2015 rule book section 10A page 5 says crossmember maybe altered for oil pan removal . If altered, all material and strength must be replaced by boxing or installing removable or permanent
material.

And thanks our chassis guy does do awesome work !

The blue 68 Firebird is my son Todd's and getting updated to 25.5 certifications. He wants to run a 10.5 class hopefully this year with a 540 cu. in. motor and a Liberty 5 speed. I have some pics on my facebook page of his car under Vince Tosto.

How it appeared before modification...just not near as clean.

TOSTO RACING · 02-07-2015, 09:19 PM

Got some more done today, complete front clip back together , subframe connectors in , new leaf springs in ,new caltracs put together , all new control arm bushings , new shafts installed with new tall upper and new lower ball joints, (thanks uncle Tony for putting the bushings and ball joints together without scratching the new powder coat lol) . Upper control arms installed. My dad will put some pics up soon . Next weekend try to put the new Moroso springs in without scratching everything up, and probably put the rearend housing in. That's all for now .

Everything looks immaculate. Be interested in the spring number and how much you end up cutting them in the end. I'm sure before long there will be a Rat in ours as well.

Yeh Rich I went with the 47150 spring because it will be alum headed . We had the 47150 spring in the car with the small block with one coil cut off , so I'm hoping that the uncut 47150 is the ticket!

The bbc for me is a first , I hope it goes as well as planned.

We used the same with 1-1/2 coils cut. Looked great for most of the season, but she's in the weeds now lol.
