When we run into issues .. We just look @ the problem & do what it takes to make it right for us & our customers… I currently have about 12 months of design time into all the suspension/chassis.. huge financial commitment on my behalf.. but has been well worth it.. I am just blessed with a great crew that can get the job done…

I just wanted to say that anyone with eyes can spot numerous differences in the spots where things can even be that different from the OE.

I always follow your threads and enjoy seeing what you are up to. Also, put some of your parts on your website so I can just impluse buy them, it's worth your while because I do that sort of thing a lot!

Glad you enjoy our threads.. Here is link to our store.. www.jcgcustoms.com/
We are working on it & got a web site in the works...

We got the engine between the frame rails & the T56.. Looks like we are modifying the whole trans tunnel..

All that space and only a teeny-tiny LS motor to put in it. You know what would look great in there?!?! Coyote 5.0.

Do it! You know you want to. :unibrow:

Cris@JCG 11-08-2012 09:07 AM

Cris,

Chassis looks great it's just missing one thing a Hitch mount for a bike rack.

Cris@JCG 11-20-2012 10:25 AM

We finally got all the new trunk & tub work done last week... We just designed a new way to do the top link on our 3 link system.. Got more progress to follow in a few weeks...

Looks awesome. What do you plan on doing for a dash?

Cris@JCG 02-01-2013 11:46 AM

Here are a few updates on the 70 Chevelle.. We currently have 3 Chevelle’s going on @ the same time & will have similar fabrication on them.. So the 70 is ahead of all 3.. The machine shop is machining some custom fitting that we are standardizing with all our custom tank fabrication for Over flow & Inter cooler tanks

Love the progress and cant wait to hear how it performs. does your frame tuck under better than the OEM?

Cris@JCG 07-20-2014 10:21 AM

Why 3-link? Just curious....... is it easier to package on on this car? or is the 3 link what your doing for all of your custom JCG suspensions? (cant remember what was on the Challenger) or is this more of an experimental thing? customer request?

Great work as always!

Cris@JCG 07-21-2014 08:55 AM

ALl my current projects have 3-links in them.. & the Challenger has been proofing the system.. Works good.. but still paying around with it to get more forward bite.. The front suspension has some great grip!

Packaging is always the compromise with suspension.. I like 3-link systems..

Nice looking set-up & fab!

Looks like you went w/a Panhard bar vs. the original watts idea? Packaging related? Were the rockers stretched any? It's hard to tell from pics but they look a little lower vs. OE.

Awwww shyza, y'all know I love blue. Almost the same shade is mine....maybe a wee bit darker, I love the stripe pattern.

WSSix 09-05-2014 07:25 PM

Nice color choice and stripe idea, Cris.

Al Moreno 09-06-2014 07:58 AM

Another BADA$$ ride coming out of JCG's team. Looks like Bluz brother. Keep the pics coming.

Fast Willi 09-07-2014 05:28 AM

Badass looking car. Like the direction you went with the stripes.

GregWeld 09-07-2014 07:18 AM

Is this the one you've been working on for like 5+ years???

Cris@JCG 09-07-2014 09:01 AM
