If you stripped everything off a C-4 all the body panels, everything, what would you be left with? Is it or would it be a full frame with the halo bar? Could you strip it all the way down so that you have a rolling chassis with all the suspension hung on it?

Check the Hot Rod mag web site they are stripping a C4 down to the bone and have plenty of pics as they do it.

The wierd thing about the C4, the body/frame are bonded. This results in a strange stressed member/semimonocoque thing.
The driveline has it's own structure. The engine, trans and rear are one sub assembly, with the crossmember in the front and the batwing in the rear; those are the only two mounting points for the driveline. The skin on the C4 is stressed, as is the hood and the top, but the hatch glass isn't. |

My hope was that at the end I'd have just a perimeter frame with no floors, firewall just the suspension hanging there on a frame like an old car. I'm going to be putting C-4 suspension under a 1946 Studebaker I'm building and having that to build off of would be so nice.

I don't think that'll work out, unfortunately. Not like the old metal frames that the body is dropped onto. I'm looking forward to seeing that project, though! Matthew |
