Thanks Tmadden! You're closer to being finshed than I am. But, we're gonna have to roll when I get finshed. How's the interior coming?

Car is at Musclerodz getting needed corrections and more work. Looking forward to seeing it close to done. I'm working with Mike to find a interior solution. I'm torn between the Fesler door panels and doing the Deluxe interior kit.

I bought the Fesler kit for my Chevelle. I pleased with the quality of it. I bought them about a year ago. No where near ready to tdo the interior, but Fesler was running a sale I couldn't pass up. LOL!!

FINALLY!! All finished up. Going to go get it next weekend if my plans go accordingly. Here's a few more pics of it all cleaned up and out of the jig/off the table.

**Oh, I hope these are clearer pics for you Greg Weld. LOL!! :mock:

Awesome Marcus!!


:thumbsup: :D

Very nice Marcus. What a work of art. I would not paint it, just spray clear over it. :unibrow:

Now we're talking! Looks good.

Like Jay said too nice for paint Marcus,thats one fine looking frame.

I'd have framed pictures of that on my office walls, if it were mine. Killer chassis Marcus!

Time to change your user name to...'Slick' :D :thumbsup: brother

Thanks guys!! As stated before though, more close up and detailed pics once I pick it up and get it home. It's been a long time...a year and a half to be exact.

Marcus,Wow!!!!out standing.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wow that is one awesome frame... Bling Bling:G-Dub:

Marcus,
That thing looks awesome. I know you can not wait till next weekend. A year and a half is a long time.

HEEP

It came out awesome Marcus. What a sweet ride this is going to be!

did you make this frame? that is amazing.. got a shop ?
Masi

Thanks Masi, I'm glad you like it. But, no I didn't make it. I had a chassis shop build it for me. Really nice guys to work with and know their stuff. Been in business for over 30 years in the same location...family owned. Street Rod Garage out of Grant, Alabama.
http://www.streetrodgarage.com/>>>ask for Chris or David.

Weren't you going to pick it up this weekend??

Nope, this weekend coming. I'm gonna leave out either Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas morning Ron. :D :D

Marcus thats sick. Great job. It' gonna be bad azz!!!

Marcus I know you're on the road now. Can't wait for the pics!!! :poke: :D

Thanks for checking on me Ron. Well guys, I'm back after making a 28 hours round trip haul in 2 days all by my lonesome. I was just me and a radio to listen to. :rolleyes: Anyways, here are a few pics for now. Not blowing my own horn, but this frame is awesome. This thing is built to be beaten on. Although, I'm not a track guy and it won't get beaten on. LOL!! It was all nice and had that sanded down look, but I met some bad rain on the way home, so on a few of the pics you may see some light rust. More pics to come after I take it off of the trailer when I get it to my shop guys place to start fitting the body on Monday. I dare not take this off of the trailer at my house alone.

At Street Rod Garage after getting it loaded onto the U-Haul.

Yeah Marcus, I was concerned about the rain, and hoping you had it in an enclosed trailer. That thing is amazing!!! I've never even heard of these guys, and their probably the closest chassis shop to me. Are the prices on their website legit? Looks like I'm going to Texas to check out your ride! This is off the hook!!!

And here we are at 2am after getting home all nestled in the garage where it will sit until Monday when I go drop it off at the shop.

Here are a few close-ups I got before going to bed this morning. LOL!! These are the ones where the rain caused the surface rust. It'll all be sandblasted before it blown apart to get powdercoated.

Yeah Scott, they are the real deal prices. That's why I chose them...great prices. And as I've said before...a great bunch of guys to work with. Just some good, ole down to earth country boys from Alabama.

On second thought, just sell it to me.......:lmao:

#1 --- AWESOME!!



#2 -- I wiped down a chassis (for my '37 Ford) with WD40 about 5 years ago and it has absolutely ZERO rust on it - no flash rush - no anything. It came home after loading it in my trailer in the rain - (thus the "water dispersing WD). I'm still surprised - because I live in the Pacific NorthWET.

That frame is a killer ! is there a room exhaust over the rearend?

Thanks Greg. I made sure my little cheapo digital camera had batteries in it this time. :poke: Ron called me before I left Thursday and told me to get some WD-40 too. :bitchslap: But, I was running late, so I never stopped to get any and the rain was waiting for me head on. :bang:

Masi, my exhaust is designed to run under the IRS. There are two cut outs on the bottom of the back plates holding the 9" housing for 3" exhaust. I'll get some pics of it when I get the detailed shots Monday.

Marcus that's friggin awesome! WOW just keep those updates coming
:G-Dub:

Marcus,

Congrats on bringing home the 'gold'!

Wow and wow. :thumbsup:

how expensive was the frame with the IRS?

Hahahahaha.... somehow I knew that was gonna come up. Well Masi, mine is a bit of a different story. I'll try and sum it up in a nutshell the bestway I can. This frame has taken nearly 2 years to build...a little over a year and a half. I knew it would be a while going into it, so I was fine with it. So, since it was the first IRS they built, the builder took a little more time on R&D to make plans for it to be able to fit in all of their chassis's. He used my build to make jigs for other chassis's. He used my frame as a basis to make several different control arm lengths. So, since my car wasn't ready and would not be for quite some time, I told him to take his time and in return I would get a cheaper price than others. We had an agreement for me not to be spreading what I paid because the next man would pay a higher price. And if I went around bragging on how I got such an awesome deal, the next customer would expect the same. So, I vowed to secrecy to never, ever, ever reveal what I paid. :G-Dub: Also, I have to honor that becuase when I go back to get my C10 chassis built I want the special homeboy discount again.:lmao:

:) the roadster shops irs setup with all the bells and wisless costs huge amount of cash.. im not saying it aint worth it but it is expensive.. if that can be cut a some/lot many more guys would have afford for one.

Many of us said that a few years ago... :D

Never say never.

Thing looks bitchin. :thumbsup:

Marcus the frame looks awesome I would just keep driving around town with it on the trailer :lol:

Bro i'm just sitting here with my mouth wide open. Oustanding!!!

Thanks Ryan. :idea: I'll go the long way on the way to the shop Monday just so everyone can see it. I hope it's sunny.

Thanks bro, hopefully I can put this thing in high gear now. Notice I said, "hopefully."

Thanks bro's!

I know right? When I feel the power of the Kenne Bell 3.6 with the RHS 427, I may suddenly get the urge to see what it can really do and that's what I'm afraid of. But, I know one thing...I cannot drive worth a damn, so tracking/autoX it is out. LOL!!
