1968-1982 C4 Based \"Shark\" Chassis For Your C3 Corvette

[Cameron 77C3]

Found this at http://www.streetshopinc.com

General Description:

Only from Street Shop, we offer a new "mandrel formed" replacement chassis for your 1968-82 Corvette and is designed to fit under the stock floor-pan. This chassis utilizes the C4 1989-96 Corvette suspension, drastically improving handling and braking capability. Designed around the car's original features, this chassis allows you to "bolt on" your original body with NO modification to your C3 Corvette body.

The process of mandrel bending our 4"x2"x0.120" wall steel tubing maintains the dimension of the tubing, thereby providing the maximum amount of strength from the finished frame rail. These one-piece, formed rectangular rails are very rigid and lightweight. The end result is a frame that weighs slightly less than the original, but also one that resists the twisting and flexing common to these cars.

All chassis are finished in durable semi-gloss black powder coating and feature stock mounting for the bumpers and body, as well as the engine and transmission, which are capable of many engine / transmission combinations. Coil-over shocks are used at each wheel and provide a completely adjustable ride, while a power rack and pinion steering unit is included for quick and responsive steering.

Nice find, Cam.

Lots to like about that, especially "Removable transmission crossmember"

[Cameron 77C3]

All original auotomaticss have a removable croos member on C3's.  Only manuals have their cross member welded in, as far as I know.

That's true according to the Corvette Restoration Guide.

I think you'll find that's the Chassis Murray has under his C2 LS2. :v
