[Chevelle-list] tubular front end

[bad66chevelle454 at aol.com]

 Lorne,

There is quite a few different companies out there that make tubular front ends. Global West, Hotchkis, SC&C are just a few of the top name ones. But my question to you, what are your plans for the car? Just a weekend cruiser, strip, race? A simple rebuild of your stock components, with a standard type disc brake set up(Not a wildwood, baer type), will do you good for a cruising car. Most people(not all) that put on all the tubular stuff with massive brakes and things like that, it's purely for show and to have the name. On my car, I went from 4 wheel drum, to disc/drum, and it was a night and day difference. Then I went to power disc/drum and it was even better. I'm planning on using all stock stuff, adding disc to the rear and a sway bar in the rear(already have one in the front), and calling it good. Mines going to be on the street cruising 99% of the time, and that's all I need.

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the
tubular front end kits out there. Any preference or disappointment with certain
products. I have a 66 Chevelle Malibu
originally a 6 now with 402. Standard steering and standard brakes which I will
be upgrading as I can afford. So what I am looking for is really the best bang
for my buck. There are so many options out there. Can’t decide which
maker to go with. Any preference on brake upgrades as well would be great.
