I'd say do the frame, crossmembers, and front dropmember in black. Control arms, trailing arms, and smaller parts (shocks, loose brackets, panhard/sway bars, etc) in purple. I did a similar combo with hammered black and hammered silver and was happy with the contrast without it being "too much"

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms

I agree with ^, or maybe even a little less. Any moving parts in purple and stationary parts in black.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms

Everything looks great, but I am confused. Why did you Z the frame AND do a Dropmember?

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms

the previous owner Zed the frame, i just finished it and made it stronger. im runing 24inch wheels so the Z will allow it to lay. the dropmember alone allows u to lay 29 1/2 inch tire combo, 24's are around 31 1/2

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms

Still gathering parts to get this project going. I was able to get a new ride tech level pro and a set of c6 z06 brakes. I got the rear brackets from 87chevy and the front modified dropped spindles from way2lo2. Also got the calipers rotors and pads from way2lo2. Here's a couple of pics, I hope to get some time to work on it soon.
