I second that on the exhaust manifolds. Would like to know what brand.

The motor, turbo's, exhaust/manifolds, etc... were done by Speed Inc. I believe they are stock F-body manifolds flipped upside down and welded. I can get some pics for you guys tomorrow.

The lifts are by Rotary Lift. We wanted a clean look in the final assembly room since it can be seen from the show room, so we went with the in ground style lift instead of the traditional post style lift. Plus the foot print is much smaller and easier to work around since the only 2 posts are under the lift.

Here are a few more pics that I didn't get a chance to upload the other day.

Mini-tubs coming together.

Wheel house tacked back in. A little extra work was required on this one because there was a "Custom" repair panel pop riveted to the back of both wheel houses to cover rust holes. Had to re-make the rear body mount as well because of rust.

A Muscle Car Owners Prayer


Dear GOD, continue to bless the soldiers in Iraq, keep them safe by day and bless them at night, dear Lord,
Keep my mother and father safe and free from illness,
Allow us to awake to another day of your blessings and be guided by your safe hands,
....and GOD...please send me a Roadster Shop chassis. :_paranoid

Looks awesome and slammed:thumbsup:
You can really tell by the rear whee/tire tucked up in there.

Is the frame hanging down lower from the body?
If so, is it because the new frame is vertically thicker than stock?

Car looks killer at ride height!:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. The car looks pretty sick at ride height. We never took any before and after measurements on the ride height, but going from the pictures of the wheel in relation to the quarter panel, the rear looks like it came down about 6".

The frame does hang down slightly more than stock. It is less than 1/2" more than the stock frame hangs down. This is because of the frame rail design and clearance to the body. All aftermarket chassis currently available do hang down below the body the same if not more. Being bare steel also draws more attention to the frame than if it were painted matte black like a factory frame.

We are currently in the final stages of a complete re-design on our Chevelle chassis that will actually be tighter to the body than a stock frame! I will have a few projects going together on that platform in the next few weeks.
