Oh lol, best of luck!

edit: I guess so, wouldn't need all of it in a race truck! Lol. Could post it on the classified here. Could get a hit. I'm sure you can sell a full set, no rips or tears for a few hundred easily...

So went and got this today! 2002 Z06 rear end, torque tube, bellhousing and 6 speed manual transmission. Also got a junk block so I can start mocking everything up. Now starting to save for all the metal I am going to need to build a tube chassis. Still looking into if I want to do tube all the way through or build a 2x4 frame.

After picking up my rear end last weekend I started looking into tube chassis vs building a 2x4 frame. I do think the frame would be quicker and easier but I am building this Blazer to learn the ins and outs of building tube chassis. A friend wants me to build him a cage for his drag Honda and we started talking about tube vs frame and first off tube would be completely bad ***, but it also would be a good challenge and help me learn more than 2x4. So I started looking into full RR tube setups and put the 2x4 out of my mind. In turn when I was doing some reading I am considering doing https://rick486.wixsite.com/dobbertinperformance again. He sells a kit for tube chassis and it would take all the guess work out of my suspension and make it completely bolt in and easier to maintenance. I am slowly learning about suspension and all the angels beyond just collision at work but it is starting to confuse me a little. Worried I would get it all welded in and be off just enough to handle horribly or pre mature wear on parts.

That's the great thing about doing something new, all the learning that comes with it.

Any luck with finding a home for your interior?

I really haven't posted it for sale anywhere yet. I do have a crap ton of parts to sell though and need to get on it. Been busy at work and rebuilding part of my garage.
