I'm not too sure about the comfort level there!

Chris's car has been coming together. We have the body back on the chassis with the motor and trans installed. A little bit of metal work was needed at this point. We had to cut out the trans tunnel and fab a new one since his original chassis had the trans mount 4.5" lower than our chassis.

The first production set of stainless headers designed specifically for this chassis.

Here is a good side profile of the car to see how much of the frame rail hangs below the rocker. (The body was still slightly sitting on the trans so the front is up about 1/4" higher than it should be)

Here is a shot of another 66 that we are just starting on. This is on the stock frame with original 1966 bushings. The frame rail is right at 1.75" from the bottom of the rocker pinch weld.

And here is a pic of our low profile frame rail with a ruler clamped to the bottom of the frame rail. It is right at 1/2" below the rocker pinch weld! That is 3/4" higher than the stock frame rail. (stock height Energy Suspension body mounts are installed)

That looks so awesome! Eye candy for sure...:thumbsup:

Are you guys planning on coating the frame? Dumb Q, I know...

That rear end set up is very nice. Question, looks like you went through alot to get the frame tucked up nice but the trans crossmember looks alot lower than the rest or is that just the camera perspective?

Amazing work as usual.:thumbsup: Great job on the frame. Can hardly been seen.
Do you guys fab up those headers?
