HELP! my 79 Monte Carlo should be low like this....

[CruizinKev]

to get it that low youll gonna have to do one huge c notch in the back say bye to your trunk and back seat.

yeah I know, I saw some c-notched cars' interiors, they still got the backseat.. but no trunk, but I don't care bout that ^^

 

[CruizinKev]

so anybody got pics and links to c-notched g-body frames?? because I still don't know what I do with the trailing arms and stuff with the rear axle, where to fit in the bags and all other suspension stuff around the c-notches.

pics would be the best explaination for me, because I don't understand some technical-english words sometimes.. or you guys can paint & post some helpful sketches that could help me.. :|

thanks guys!!!! 8)

check out the bridge kits on suicidedoors.com and you will see what needs to be done for the notching and upper mounts, then just use over axle brackets for the bottom, they can also be seen on s/d's web site.

Here is the frame for my monte. I am using a suicide doors universal notch kit and modifing it to work.

 

[andrewmp6]

id just order a triangulated 4 link kit and weld that on. all the stock links wouldnt work unless you move the mounts up.

 

[CruizinKev]

@bourbon yeah thx for that link

@87AeroSS cool, I already seen that pic.. any progress on this?? I appreciate it if you could show some more pics of your work till you got the frame done. you're just the only person I talk to who works on the same thing that I wanna do too :wink: 8) ...what you'll do with the trailing arms/links? bridge?

@andrewmp6 yeah that sounds good, but where to mount the 4-link things? I thought I just usw the stock mounts, but make some new links.. but I don't know if that would work..

plz keep me posted guys, I need all infos & pics about to complete a g-body frame with c-notch and rear suspension! I wanna start with work on this VERY soon! I just removed yesterday the monte body off my frame so

You could get upper and lower trailing arms with hiem joints in them and that improves the angle movement which would let the arms go up farther without binding.
ones like this:

yeah cool!! I also thought something about like these ..there are replacement trailing arms like these for the monte available somewhere?
