Thanks

Where on Tri5 did you see the post. When we get further along I was looking at advertising on there. I was checking out the site.

The Beauty of the chassis is the tabs and slots that fit togther They help square each rail to the other. Take the front crossmember with 1/4" plate vertical rails that fit through the entire rail. Plus the slots and tabs are so precsion that once you slide the four tabs into each rail completely through to the out side they square them selves up. When built the last chassis I went to great lengths to test how far it moves. It was between .020 and .030 out of square from the peak of the rear kick up to the highest mounting point on the upper control arm mounting point. That was good enough for me and the girls I run with.

Well between working 12 hours a day build all kinds of stuff, racing Go karts on Thurday's and any available Saturday. Plus RC cars during my off nights. I'm building a 200 hp Rhino to start short course racing next season. Plus we are doing about 14 shows this year. Oh and I'm thinking about renewing my I racing for late night racing bug.

After all that I'm tired and you know I have to sleep.

Thanks

Rog,I told you it was good idea...:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice work! I would love to see a 78 G-body chassis one day..

that is a awesome piece!!! I expect nothing less then this from Rodger.

I want to buy one just to weld it up, then grind it smooth and then I can feel like a all out metal fabricator.

I've seen this in person and it's impressive to say the least.

I would imagine that a DIYer could put this together in short order. I say that because I watched a very experienced welder at Ironworks put it together. I couldn't believe how quickly he had gotten it done!:hail:
