CONGRATULATIONSYou have purchased the finest bolt-on Camaro front frame available. We hope youare as excited about installing it as we were about designing it.This assembly booklet should guide you through a seamless installation. However,if you have any questions please give our tech line a call at (916) 388-0288.Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PST.Every effort has been made to insure that each component has been boxedcorrectly. However, we urge you to open each box and verify its contents againstthe enclosed parts list.We also suggest that you read this entire assembly booklet before you begin. Thiswill help you become familiar with the project.Please remember that when you modify a vehicle, you assume all risks. You arechanging the structural integrity manufactured into the original vehicle. As such,you need to be cognizant of potential failures. Initially you must conduct a series ofshort tests in a safe location. Test for handling, steering, and braking at slightlyincreasing speeds.Once you are confident the vehicle handles and stops properly, take a series ofdrives with slightly increasing speeds stopping to check all components. Graduallyincrease the distance of your drives. Once you have confirmed your installation isroad-worthy, you must develop a maintenance program. You must check allcomponents for looseness, and wear and tear on a regular schedule. Yourschedule must be more intense and frequent than a regular OEM vehicle.Chris Alston's Chassisworks would appreciate any feedback regarding yourexperience during installation and use of this frame. If there are any accessories oroptions you would like to see us manufacture, please let our sales departmentknow.That said, let’s install!Page 2 917703
