32 CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE II NOVEMBER 2019
Long, Lean, Slidin’ Thing
Ben screwed the frame to a thick
metal slab known to be absolutely flat,
object being to true, straighten, clean,
and reinforce the ladder, as well as to
fabricate brackets for the air springs
and the shock absorber mounts,
critical to the long, lean, slidin’ thing’s
silhouette and driveability. So he
forked some funds for the SS-5 system
from Slam Specialties out on the WestCoast in Fresno. As the plan was most
definitely bent toward cruising as well
as maintaining fiscal responsibility, Ben
saw no reason to change out the rest of
the suspension, so he rebuilt it instead.
