Corvette c5 front suspension in a third gen

Hi guys.

I can't remeber if it was on this or on another forum, but there was a guy that actually did a complete c5 front suspension swap. Anyone that got a link maybe, or if there is anypne else that have done this?

Tia

Re: Corvette c5 front suspension in a third gen

Ya, I know what thread you're talking about but don't have the link off hand. I think it was a guy from Norway or something like that. I don't think it was a suspension swap into a 3rd gen. I think the 3rd gen body panels were moved over to the C5 or C6 chassis. Looked really goofy but it was a track car so looks not a high priority.
