This means it is too wide for your 52 without modifying. Here is my 63 short wide with a caprice frame. http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/coilover/ First click on "page 3" and then scroll down to "63 on cap..."

I talked to Bennie last night on the phone and he has a 95 caprice with a tuned port and all disc brakes. He would like to sit his body on the caprice chassis as a lot of the running gear stuff is missing on the 52.
Since he's a stovebolt member I told why not ask the pro's!!!!
Bennie works pretty late so it'll probably be tonight before he comes back on here.
I figured "somebody" had done it!...or tried to! I know he'll appreciate the info.
