and sources i can find more information.

my old man has passed one of his projects on for me to finish [start really].

it is [i believe] an outlaw chassis which has a fiberglass 32 3 window body.  that is all the car is at this point.  my direction is as follows.

cut off IFS setup and replace w/ super bell front axle w/ GM rotors. [are there better axles?].

Ls1 / 4l60e

GM disk braked rear of the proper width

C5 corvette Z06 wheels

any input on the basic layout?  resources one can direct me towards?

If  is all attached and you want a solid front axle, our best bet would be to sell the complete chassis and buy another one with the solid front end.  You may even find a swap.

I think I hit a wrong button there, I was trying to say if the IFS is all there your best bet would be to procure another chassis.
