Also, you can see where the ride height can be adjusted up or down by moving the rear control arm mounting points.

Lastly, here are a few pics of how well the frame tucks and hides up under the body. This part of the frame will be hid when the rear, wheel wells are built.

This part of the frame will be hid when the front fender is on.

This is the rocker and there is no "hang down". :lmao: No pun intended!

That's all for now guys. Sorry to bore y'all to death, but I heard y'all liked pics.

I'm so bored... yawn.... what were we talking about....




:thumbsup:

I love the idea of adjusting the track width. That's genius. But I can't wrap my mind around the axle length...do they have a slip type yoke, or adjustable length in some way? Marcus, the ride height is perfect!:trophy-1302:

Not boring at all, I'm loving it.

Awesome update Marcus. That chassis is amazing. Good thinking on the adjustable track width. Is this a first? Don't think I have ever heard of that.

Of course, you know everyone here loves pictures. Thanks for showing us what is going on.

HEEP

At least my pics are better this time and not all hazy and grainy Grego. :poke:

Scott, if you're familiar with the C5/C6 spindle, the end of the axle goes thru a spindled hub. At the end of the axles, they are threaded and a large nut screws onto the end. Well, my builder ordered the axles about an 2" longer to accomodate going outward with the track width. As you can see from the pic with the lower control arm, there are four holes. Making the track width adjustable outward up to 4". But, of course we know I'll never adjust outward 4".

Thanks Wayne. :thumbsup:

I think it is a first Heep. I have never seen any of the other chassis builders do it. Not saying that it's the invention of the light bulb or anything, but I have never seen it with any of the modern, muscle car chassis builders.

very nice, don't forget you can shim the body for fine adjustments.

Marcus, You would have to show us your cool chevelle chassis.Now I must start over on mine.:lol: :lol: Very Nice.

If your starting over I will take yours!:)

Thanks, will do.

Thanks Scott, by the way, how's the C10 chassis development coming along?

The trunk fab work continues guys. Got all the panels made and pre-fitted...well, uh...test fitted. However, the saying goes. Welding will begin shortly. But, before that the next thing to do is to put the design work on the panels with the bead roller. Some of the pics are in the sunlight because it was outside to move other cars around the shop and I wasn't gonna get the guys to pull the car inside for a couple of pics. But here are a few good one too.

Also, we got the rear brake rotors on to double check and adjust the track width to make sure the tubs fit correctly. Also, the pic of the wheel is the not the ride height. We lowered the suspension travel down to it's lowest point in order to build the arch of the tubs.

Nice Marcus! Tunnel looks good too :thumbsup:

Don't ya just love it when a plan starts coming together! :D


Awesome Marcus!

That is looking really good Marcus. Very nice man!

Thanks guys. It just nice to finally see it getting worked on after just the body being on a rack for nearly 2 years. :thumbsup:

Marcus that is going to be one nice ride! I can't wait to see it come together. :thumbsup:

Great to see it coming together Marcus!

Did you get an update on the seats?

Thanks Al!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Raj and no I didn't get an update. I have called him and left about 200 messages on his cell phone with no return phone call. I didn't want to bother you and have you make that tripjust yet. :warning: But, I do need you to Facebook him for me please.

Message sent Marcus -- I will keep you updated, I may be out in Bellevue tomorrow and will try to get over to see him.

Marcus
What type of body mount bushings are you using? I'm trying to decide for mine.

HEEP

Marcus keep the updates coming!!! Its cool to see progress... And that stance wouldn't be so bad either...

Thanks Raj, I really appreciate it. I hate to put you out and have you running around. :thankyou:

Heep, I'm just using Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings.

Thanks Mario, we should start on the bead rollind soon.

That sounds like JJ :hairpullout:

Project is looking good Marcus I hope you keep it at that ride height :D

Looks sweet Marcus! Guys are doing a great looking job. What are your plans for a rear seat? Are you doing a bar, or cage in the car?

Ron, it is and he has $1000 deposit of my money. :guns: :warning:

Naw Ryan, that is a tad bit too low. :snapout:

Scott, I may have to do away with my back seat because of the notch. If I do, I will run a Ride Tech Tiger Cage and build my custom stereo system back there.

Not to much going on lately. Bead rolling work has begun though. On the back piece in the first pic, you can see where the center bead rolled triangle is a little off-center to the right. I told my builder that was okay. He offered to redo it and I told him no need. It's going to get covered up anyway. I'm not leaving it exposed.

What 4 stinkin pictures Marcus :warning: come on you can do better then that!!!

Just bustin your balls, keepem coming. So is there a time line on when you want to have it at certain stages??

Marcus, its bout time. I have been wondering how your ride was coming. Thanks for the update. :gitrdun:

Rick, hopefully, I want to be riding by this time next year Rick. Only for pics, because first I had to get the chassis. Now that I have the chassis, the next big obstacle is the RHS motor. Not east buying a motor when the block alone is nearly $5k. :buttkick: Just about, almost got it wrapped up too. So, please be patient with me suh. LOL!! :whenitsdone:

It's been slow motion Scott. Got some body work done too. The front fenders are done...body worked and primed. I hust didn't post the pics becuase when I got home and downloaded them onto my laptop, they were fuzzy. And I dare not load grainy pics. The pic patrol boys will be after me. LOL!!

I won't hold it against you if you post grainy pics :innocent:

No way Rob. :badidea: I've learned from watching you. You've been attacked several times by an angry pack of rabid dogs.

WHAT HE SAID.... JUST SAY NO!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just got caught back up!
 

All I can say is WOW! Awesome Marcus!

Car is gonna be killer. :gitrdun:

Yes, yes... you are quite wise. :bump:

Looking good Chief. Press on!

^^^ what Ron said! Looks great!

Fenders completed and ready for paint, although paint is a ways out. Body work continues though.

This is going to be a bad a$$ car. I think you've been working on yours as long as I have.(2004ish?) I wish I had some progress to share.
