That is killer!!!!

:wow: That is awesome!!!

Couple of questions.

What do you have to do as far as the trunk metal is concerned? Stock, mini tubs, or more?

Do you have to use a custom gas tank or can you use stock?

Does the frame hang down lower than stock, seems like it does in the pictures? Why is that? Just wondering.

What shows are you going to be at here in CA?

Thanks and keep posting pics:thumbsup:
We all like close up detail pics of how everything fits.

I'm trying to get a stock replacement fuel tank from Rick's Hot rods in place as we speak. We are triming the floor mods that have to happen to clear the Trans and driveshaft due to the low stance.

There will be a frame at The Pleasanton show next weekend and one at Del Mar the following weekend. Then Again in Pleasanton in August. You location in the top right says Central Valley, so You welcome to come by anytime just let me know when.

This wagon is more like an Elcamino chassis wise then a standard Chevelle. So some things are different. I will be taking some pics from underneath when I can get it on the lift. We need to build headers and exhaust for this 572 big block. We have started to build the chassis for a standard 67 Chevelle with an LS for another customer.

As always, amazing! That is a killer stance if that is just on coilovers!

Yes this car is on coilovers with 4.5" of ground clearance. We are working on changing just a few small things to the design before we cut out the next round of frames. We are getting ready to get a frame under the standard chevelles here in the next few weeks.

I also bought a the most solid rust free car I may have ever seen that happens to be a 69 Chevelle to get rolling on the 2nd gen chassis stuff. We also have a few things that we are working on to raise the bar even further in the Chevelle market.

Raise the bar FURTHER? When is enough enough!!!!! Joking aside, stellar work. Hopefully you can grow the chassis sales into other models and makes, you guys have a very unique frame style.

That is the plan. We figure everyone like frame strength, low ride height with usable ground clearance and the ability to have amazing results with a laid out process to get those results. We are doing extensive engineering and design work to create the most strength in the smallest area. Take our frame rails they are not the easiest to build, but there is no question the strength built into those parts and still keep the frame tucked as tightly to the body as possible. One of the design changes I spoke of was and idea Kenny Davis sparked that may make the rail even stronger and not hang below the rocker at all........It will be even more difficult to build, but I think the trade off is worth it.
