Looking for some help with some information.  I purchased a 2003 Corvette Z06 rolling chassis off Ebay.  I am planing on putting this under my 67 Chevelle.  I need to stretch the torque tube about 21" in order to be the right wheel base. #1 Anyone have any information on how to lengthen the torque tube?  #2 the upper control arms are connected to the Corvette frame, and the lower's are connected to the aluminum cradle front and rear.  I am making a new frame, but am trying to figure out how to set the uppers to be in line with the lowers for proper travel.  Any thoughts on how to make them be in the proper posistion?

ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP.

THANK YOU, JIM.  

Did you buy it out of a wrecked vette? just the chassis or did you get the powertrain also?  

I have the suspension, brakes, engine, 6 speed trans, rear end.  It is a complete rolling chassis, with out the corvette frame.  They just unbolt it and drop it out from under the car.  It was out of a 2003 Z06 with 20,000 that a guy slid sideways in to something.  Body wrecked, but the running gear is good.  Now to put it togather is another story.  Something to keep me busy at night.  

Chassis straightening equipment as used by quality body shops uses measurements from reference points to reestablish the locations of subframes,etc. You may be able to buy this data from a shop. This could give you a place to start.  jimmyt4  

Hi Jim,

I started my 71 olds a-body project back in 2004 with the c5 full drivetrain setup.

I only finished the rear section.  What I did to get the setup for the upper control arms to frame was to buy a rear frame rail section from a guy off ebay.  He had to cut them as to fit them in a paper box for easy shipping.  He gave the space measurement before cutting though.  I then (snugly) bolted them on the rear subframe.  I used a round steel bar cut to the measured spacing and tack welded in place between the left and right railings.  You should now be able to attach the control arms to the frame.  I worked from the rails to my original frame by cutting/welding in new pieces. Boxed off the hollow corvette frame rails and went to work, when I got all my center to center hole measurements in place including ride height with desired wheels.  The corvette frame rails are now grafted into my a-body frame.  

The torque tube is another problem.  The only person I know who extended one is Jay Leno with his big dog garage on the olds toronado twin turbo all c5 drivetrain/suspension setup.

I want to call them to see if they fabricate the one I need.

If you found someone to do it, please let us know here, thanks.
