Payton this sounds all too familiar...I am sorry to hear all the crap you have to wade through I've been there with Jake. After 2 years I finally ended up with almost everything he owed me, I gave up on the axles. It is just mind boggling, to treat customers this way and expect to stay in business. I still really like the parts I got from him, but the stress and everything that comes along with it is not worth it. I hope you get it all resolved and it all works out for you.

WTF??? I hate it when people pull crap like that.

Hope everything works out for you. Love your previous 69 Camaro. No doubt this one will be killer when you're done.

I am really sorry to hear this happened to you!
 

had a long post and some of my typical brain dumping :D Figured it not appropriate or necessary, so...

The summary: the dude that built that chassis is a total dipsh!t (which appears I simply concur with everyone else here so no news there). A kid that saw a handy man build a deck on a cabin "this one time at band camp" could do a better job. At least he would have seen a guy use a plumb bob, level, and tape measure to square up the framing.

I hope you can keep it rolling and get back in there, and I am with everyone else, keep the faith! I can imagine how hard it is to stay motivated, but I too think it will be pretty bitchin' once it is done and fixed by a guy that knows his stuff.

Is it done yet?

Is it at least longer than a Torino now?

:smiley_smack:


No charge Payton :captain1:

In hot rodding circles it's quite kool to CHOP or CHANNEL a car..... So I think Payton is on to a whole new era of what will no doubt become the next big thing to hit the Pro-Touring world -- "The Frame Section"... AKA: Alternate Wheel Base Car. Back in my day - the hottest thing at the drag races were the AA/FX cars...

I think the man is on to something here. With a mild reposition of the body mounts one can choose to offset to the front of the wheel wells.... per this example:

Or one can choose to offset the rear and gain some traction if needed. Personally I think the choice boils down to whether a guy chooses to have his car Push - - or Oversteer.

I've always found it far easier to adjust the body/chassis location vs. trying to make the chassis fit the wheel wells. The factory really choose such an arbitrary location for those anyway.

I love those altered wheelbase cars, can you imagine trying to road course that Dodge.LOL

I think Payton's has a pretty good game plan, the problem is the deeper he digs the more he finds. Hey, you can't take it with you. You might as well go for broke and annihilate the boys inheritance.

Glad you found your salt shaker for my wounds GW. LOL

We have a game plan and progress pics should be coming soon. Going to the lake on the 4th was way more important.

Payton Sorry to hear all these problems. These long distance builds are tough, you can't stay on top of everything you would notice if you were seeing it go together. I know it takes the wind out of your sails but you have a good hold on what you want to do so you'll get it done . I hope it gets easier from here on out.
