So what's the ride height going to be ? Believe you said you are not using drop spindles but just using the spring height on the adjustable coil overs .
Yes Schwartz performance is building a chassis for the 73-77 Abody $11,000 plus options.
As for the console ,you don't like the original grand am unit? Or is it because of the 6 speed , which I'm sure you would have to cut up.

The ride height is still not set. I am waiting to get all the glass, interior and exhaust installed as well as the bumpers to see where it sits. I can tell you there is quite a big improvement in suspension travel and cross member clearance compared to before. The Speedtech UCA's and spindles gave me a lot more room to adjust the front suspension without worrying about running out of shock travel. As for the console, I wanted to run a certain shifter, and the factory console is very narrow. Also the 6-speed shifter wound up positioned more toward the passenger side than the 5-speed, so I needed the bigger opening. I am trying to decide if I will keep the factory console, or sell it?
