'50 Chevy Convertible Front End...


By the the time the rear end was installed, the front end parts were finally delivered.  What's nice about these old Chevy's is that the entire front suspension just unbolts.  


We opted to use a bolt in Chassis Engineering front cross member kit.  There were some minor tweaks needed but overall all, it fit pretty well.


With the cross member in, everything else bolts to it.


To get the car to sit where we wanted it, we ended up using 2" dropped spindles.  The customer wants it to sit lower, but we are going to wait till the springs are installed and settle after some drive time.
