Project Wrong Way Regal Wagon

[zeth hale]

OK so it's been a while I've been doing lots of side work to try to stay ahead for the holidays I finally freed up some money and was able to go on a parts run. I went and go the corvette front clip that I wanted for a while now and ended up seeing quiet a few awesome things in the process. I posted another thread in the general post area for that so I won't clutter the thread anymore. I have stripped most of the interior out of the regal and it's been playing hot potato between in the garage and outside. But my plans are after the holidays I'll tear the front clip off the regal and start figuring out how to mount the corvette suspension under it

On my first cutlass I had wanted to swap in a full c4 suspension

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress installing the Corvette front suspension, steering, and brakes.

I'm not real interested in the IRS because of the c4 era the diff and shafts are pretty weak and I hate doing u joints lol. So I'll be keeping it solid axle but swapping to a 9" rear. For the front I'm certain I will probably ditch the transverse leaf as I don't think it'll work good in a heavier car such as a regal. We will see tho I'm sure it'll be a bit of work to setup ride height correctly and figure clearence out so I still have good angle with wide fronts.
I went with a newer model c4 and they actually changed Trac width by 1 inch on the newer ones. But the reason I went with the newer one is because this one had abs sensors which I can use for information to the gold box Incase I ever want to run traction control. All in all the older model is almost the same Trac width as a regal( within 1/4 inch) so I'm 1.25 over Trac width. I could have swapped spindles out but I figure this will be the lesser of 2 evils for what I need
