Your question is posted in the "Build Diaries" section. You might get more answers in the "Suspension" group. Jim

The chassis rear would need some modification to fit the Corvette suspention. There is a diary on kitcentral I think the 2nd page TIM Throman

If you have not made the control arms yet and you have the body and you have the wheels you are in the perfect spot to make your car look correct.
Put your body on the chassis and center it as best you can - fender lips equally spaced on both sides to the frame.
Put your wheels under the body and place them exactly how you want them to look.
Measure from wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface (the flat part, inboard center of wheel).
Give me that measurement and I will tell you how long to make your control arms.
The naerc plans are for the naerc body and naerc wheels.
Bodies are not created the same widths and wheels come with different offsets. This method will make it look right every time.
