When I cut the Unibody chassis, we did cut 2...... If you want one let me know.

Full frames flex so not sure how anybody is keeping a 1/16 tolerance? Then add in how, by who and with what the frame is being measured and you can start with 1/16 and go up from there.


Looks like cool idea. I think the buyer will be someone that has a bench and some experience and wants to save thousands over an assembled version and shipping hassles. There are other options for those that want and bolt on piece. Gives a builder options rather than a fit the frame to their design.

That being said the first question I would ask is are there any frames on the road and with how many miles? And the important...How did they perform??? They can look pretty in a pic and be a flop. I know you are in prototype stage and will assume this will be addressed before released.


1st gen Camaro would be a huge sell. Easily go UPS and could be adapted to Street Rod crowd that does Camaro clips.

Again, great idea Rodger.
Good luck with this.:thumbsup:

You are on to something here dude. Best of luck to you man.

Rodger, would it be possible in your opinion, with this chassis being a major part of the equation, to be ultra competitive with the smaller wheelbase cars in the major pro-touring events?

Sure with enough tuning and planning to position the weight in a good location. Plus the lighter you can make the car the better. I'm attempting to put as much adjustability into the chassis for different combos. The frame will be pretty light and I'm working on a way to be able to bolt the rollcage directly to that chassis as an option. I plan to set this up with options for splined sway bars, woodward rack, Rear sway bar,Watts link, etc. I'm not using light weight street rod parts. The Rear lower link uses a Johnny joint on one end with a 1/2" bolt in the chassis and a Howe Rubber end link the DSE for the other end with a .75 bolt. The .75 joint is over kill, but readily available.

Thanks for the info Rodger.

If this works out, I'll run mine around the autocross and test it out for certain ! I love to drive my 57' as it is, if it actually handled well also, it would be GREAT !

DEFINITELY X2!! :D

All right I give..I was going to ask you the other day when were talking ,What the hell is a JOHNNY JOINT?.I have never heard that term before
