S10 frame vs. Camaro/Nova sub-frame
I got a question for some of you guys with a little more experience than me.
I just got done welding on a camaro sub-frame to my 54 Chevy. I hung the fenders back on and noticed that the track width seemed a bit wide. Only with 14x7" wheels, the tires are pretty close to the fenders. I know Camaro/Nova sub-framing is quite popular, but I've also heard of s10 front clipping.
So whats the difference?? Is there an advantage to using an s10's front suspension rather than the typical Camaro or Nova? Also, does an s10 have a narrower track allowing for wider wheels up front?
I've seen 49-54 Chevys with alot of space between the wheel and fender, yet they're slammed on the ground, so front suspension is obviously not stock. Im guessing they're all using a M-II setup, but mabey not...??
So, s10 vs. Camaro/Nova suspension....what do y'all think??Im tired of all this arguing...
Its not a hot rod, kustom, rat rod, lead sled, gasser, and its not a street machine....its my car.
