Re: [Chevelle-list] Clint's Elky f/s
2006 was pretty much a down year for me,Mike. Because of serious marital problems for the past seven months,I've had other more pressing concerns and my El Camino has suffered,as a result. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some things done now that things have kinda settled down around the Hooper household but,,,I'm not out of the woods yet. All your support has meant more than you could ever know. Back to the subject at hand,plans are for the installation of an SCC Stage II+ set-up in front and once that's done,I plan to eliminate the diagonal track bar in the rear and replace it with a panhard bar or watts link.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Clint's Elky f/s
Clint, Glad to hear that things are such that you can re-focus on your Elky. God knows I depend on my daily dose of garage therapy to keep me sane. I too was interested in how your new direction in suspension was going. About the same time you posted that, I was looking for a new setup for my 65 Elky. I talked with Marcus, and with Tyler at ATS and a few others. looking for a better setup than just aftermarket CA's. I have opted for a chassis from Jeff Schwartz with his circle track components. I won't have it til April but hopefully I am making a good move as far as building a race level handling Elky. It will be getting an LS2/T56 as well. I am real interested in your experience with the SCC setup. I know you have had experience with Air Ride and aftermarket tall spindle suspension. Let me know how it works.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Clint's Elky f/s
Clint, Jeff's chassis uses a four link configuration with SS shafts and high end heim joints. I'm going with coilovers, QA1s. The bare chassis is $2495. You can spend a lot more depending on what components you use. Mine will have rack and pinion steering, Wilwood brakes, A Winters alum. 9 inch rear and a few more extras. What sold me is the way the chassis is built and the cost is not a great deal more than building a stock chassis with aftermarket pieces. And I think you know of Jeff's accomplishments in the area of speed and handling. Like winning the Z2Z challenge. He knows how to make a car slot car quick. Time will tell.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Clint's Elky f/s
I've been talking to Mark at SCC about my
car's suspension set-up,Herb. Have decided to try his Stage II kit on the front
which consists of Howe tall upper lower balljoints,along with some of
their adjustable UCA's. The kit will reduce the car's bumpsteer down to almost
nothing and the geometry benefits are almost as good as the new alum A/FX
spindles,without the expense of them and also having to convert to C5/C6 brakes.
The Baer C4 brakes on my car work like crazy and I don't want to mess with
success. That's the plan right now but I've got a couple of people maybe
interested in buying my complete Air Ride set-up. If that happens,I'm going to
go to something hardcore.
