    This looks great, but what about the shock mounts when you're done? I assume there's going to be a rear suspension kit from DSE, but would be nice to have a shock relocation kit for those that go a different route.

    @@mathewshackelford8037 Detroit Speed does offer a coilover kit that mounts the upper shock in the frame rail and the lower shock on an offset bracket. How about $1500 for brackets/mounts, non-adjustable shocks/springs, and hardware? The price goes up from there.

    Great info & tips. It would be great if you did an in depth video on the 1st -2nd Gen Chevy II. In those videos, much of the fab work was glossed over.

    I see that it came with the lower seat belt relocation mount, I was talking about the upper shoulder belt that has its mount right on top of the wheel well in a hatch. Do you have to convert to strictly lap belt or do we just cut it out and weld it back into place after the tubs are in

  • @detroitspeed

    Sorry for the confusion. With the upper mount in later cars, you would just need to remove it from the factory tub, modify the flange, and weld to the new tub.
