I'm sure its a good design if it is bolted to the car solidly, then the body would act as trianagulation, I'm sure this is the case just wondering if the guys can clear this up please??

Im not knocking it , but I am amazed those rear shock mounts will live .

Why Greg are we getting in your way living vicariously through your builds?? lol Talk about detail they even put rotational arrows on the plywood so they could be mounted correctly.. This is going to be an awesome build.

Anyone have an opinion?

This chassis actually bolts right next to all of the factory unibody structure making the body way more rigid than stock.

We like the fact that the floor does not have to be removed to install an aftermarket chassis. The car is recieving a warmed over LS3, so it will make about 550hp. We are looking forward to seeing how this car will handle. We are shooting to debut this car at Goodguys Columbus.

You obviously studied the photos well! I did not think someone would notice our billet pine 25" directional wheels. We try to have some fun here occasionally.

And I enjoy watching your projects! Sweet build.

SO what size tires you putting on this beast

The rear is getting a set of 335's, and the front probably a set of 255's.

Thanks for all of the questions & concerns about our chassis, & thanks MexMan for some clarification.

Like Rt 66 stated, our chassis bolts to stock locations in the front, but connects the front & rear sections together stronger than subframe connectors can do which makes it much stronger than anything else. To further triangulate the structure, we do supply firewall braces from the shock hoops to the firewall. Adding a rollbar is effective & can be tied to the chassis too.
Our frame does bolt-in, & doesn't require any floor cutting, & the frame can be removed if an owner wanted to (for some reason) convert the car back to stock.

Thanks Dale for adding more to the details! We can't wait to drive it!
