    Metric stub mods

    Any chassis builders still building mods on a metric stub?

      Personally, I prefer metric clips. The Ford Crown Vic clip is also another good clip.

            Spring cup location and the ability to use a lower control arm (similar to a nova) that creates a motion ratio that is close to 1:1. Keeps the car good and stable.

                big metric: late 70's smaller bodied Impala, Pontiac Parisianne. delta 88
                I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                  So does Chevelle and Camaro stand alone?

                      Camaros are unibody......no frame rails in the middle. The body was tied into the frame front and rear.

                      But.......Howe used to sell frame rails just for that reason..He was one of the first to re-design the Camaro clip for racing purposes.

                        I meant in a general categorical sense where they classified it because I know some street stock classes use them. That answered my question though thanks!

                            If you find a camaro clip I'll buy it,would be rare and worth alot of money.

                              I take it the MBR number 18 might not hit the track for a while?
