Very very nice.

One question - I think I see both Wilwood brakes and a Lokar e-brake handle mounted on the tranny tunnel.

How effective is that e-brake?

Doesn't work that great. Chris made the decision today to eliminate the e-brake all together because of that.

Can you still use the stock front inner fender wells or do you have to massage them to make them fit? Also for the 65' frame? It could be just the pictures, but it looks like the frame comes out further forward into the wheel area?

You can run the stock inner fenders with little modifications. It is simply trimming the opening slightly around the control arms.

You are right about the '65 in our other post. The front of the side frame rail came forward into the front wheel opening. The new version of the chassis does a sharp 90 degree turn and ends up about 2" further back so it ends perfectly inline with the firewall and does not intrude in to the wheel opening.

I met Chris at Good-Guys a few years back. I always enjoy talking with him & his wife when we see them at the shows or on the Power Tour. Good luck with the build. This is one of my favorite Chevelles. Eric

Chris started out with the plan of using his floater 9” rear end from the old chassis. We were going to cut all of the brackets off and weld our 4-link brackets in place for our chassis. Well, Chris caught a glimpse of another product that we were in the final stages of developing. Like every good car project, he made a few revisions and changed directions!

Here is Chris's completed chassis and the first Roadster Shop Fully Independent Fast Track Chevelle Chassis

More info on the IRS can be found in the new Roadster Shop Thread of the Vendor Specific section.
