Thanks guys, I'm happy with it. It's been a long time coming. This was my frame builders first time doing an IRS, so alot of R & D went into it. Alot of going back to the drawing board, etc. At times, some things looked good on paper, but when he cut it out on the machine and mocked it up, it was a no-go. Lots of trying to make things work on the computer program he used, as far as, suspension travel and movement of the parts, wheels turning, etc. After all of that and about a year and a half later...here we are. We are waiting on the Ridetech triple adjustable coilovers to come in hopefully sometime next week. One last shot, a pic of the IRS cradle.

Now you're cooking with gas :wow:

I know that feeling a sweet new chassis coming your way. Now get to assembly. :unibrow:

I wanted to do IRS but just didn't have it in my budget.:(

When are you picking one of these up?

Looks good. That suspension is going to feel real nice.

tones2SS 01-05-2013 07:24 AM

Awesome Marcus. Frame looks great. Should be a nice "corner carver" when complete.

coolwelder62 01-05-2013 08:17 AM

Marcus,I was great too visit w/you the other day.I will let you know when I have the C-10 chassis R&D finished up.Your chassis is looking great.Is the center section from Dutchman.:thumbsup:

tmadden 01-05-2013 08:47 AM

Bro that looks incredible. Where locally did you find someone with that skill set? The community is pretty small. I should have heard of someone.

Rob, still debating on which way I'm going...supercharged or N/A. I'm just gonna do some work on the car for a while and then decide on a motor a little later. I'm going to think on it long and hard because I'm tired of "buying today, selling tomorrow" because I want something else. So, this time I'm going to be patient and make a good decision.

Davin, this was Greg Welds old motor. It is GM's LSX 376 shortblock they sell, topped off with a Magnuson TVS 2300 Supercharger. Not sure of the accessory drive kit on it. It is a beautiful motor isn't it?

SEVENDY2MALIBU 01-22-2013 03:00 PM

those wheels are sick !!!! the chassis is badass !!!! i'll be following the rest of the build . :cool:

Thanks bro! Chassis is off of the table and done. We are still waiting on the Ride Tech coilovers to come and I need to find time to go and pick it up. It's a 14 hour trip for me. Hopefully, I can find time between now and the end of February. Weekends don't count because they are closed, so between work and kids, I gotta make a trip during the week. :thankyou:

Che70velle 01-22-2013 04:48 PM

No sweat boss, I got this! I'll swing down tomorrow, and get it for you. But don't worry, I'll send you lots of pics.:lol:

Seriously though, you need to get this in motion cause we need more pics!!!

tubbed69 01-22-2013 05:02 PM

Marcus that frame is awesome,love the Chevelles

214Chevy 02-05-2013 10:39 PM

The rear axles came in from Dutchman. Got them installed and they fit perfect.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...ps42ae8224.jpg

Also, as a few of you all may know, I sold my 408 LS 6.0 a couple of months ago to another board member. Going a different route with my powerplant. So, I guess I have to change my signature, huh? Here's a sneak peek of what's up my sleeve. (sorry for the cell phone pic...my little, cheap digital camera is acting up.)

Rob, 10 years ago I didn't build the car right the first time due to my inexperience, knowledge, etc. So, I figured it time for it's due justice/diligence.

Nice parts...... I think..... couldn't really tell what the two blobs where in those photos. Marcus... you got a little palsy going on there buddy? :poke:


Dutchman is up in my neighborhood - a well respected company for sure and that rear end look sweet.

What's going under the air swirler?

fleetus macmullitz 02-06-2013 09:19 AM

Hahahahhaha!! The pic of the rear axle installed is from my builders iPad Greg. That's how he always sends them to me. He's old school and emails them straight from his iPad. I guess he can't figure out how to take pics from a camera then download them to a computer, then upload them and then email them. LOL!! I take full resposibility for my blob of a picture on the supercharger. :lmao: I have a littler cheapo digital camera that uses 2 AA batteries and the batteries were weak and it was acting up. Even thought about robbing some from my cable and TV remote, but they were AAA. But, as promised...I will overload you guys with pics once I pic up the frame. The supercharger is a 3.6 liquid cooled Kenne Bell. As far as the engine going under it, it'll be an RHS block 427 with piston oil squirters installed and All Pro heads.

I just saw a truck with a subframe loaded on the trailer headed east on I20. I thought about you. You're doing it right. Be encouraged.
