The chassis- re do number 2, Ironworks Speed and Kustom:

The rear T56 transaxle and suspension points mocked up on the frame table; we used the factory cradles to make servicing more accessable

The car at ride height, welded to the chassis table; HRE 542R wheels mocked up with Michelin road racing slicks and body kit rocker panel

The details on this chassis have to been seen in person, these really don't do it justice.

The above shot allows for a flat floor, while still allowing a guy 6'4" to sit with ease.

Front chassis coming together with the aluminum cradle:

So that is where the car is. We have to weld the chassis into the rockers, finalize the front suspension mounts and set it on the ground. The above price includes this work, and the car will be delivered as a roller.
The theme here is all out performance/race car with ease of maintenance. All items can be replaced with factory parts; car will have smooth under belly, engine has 6 inch set back and is behind the front axle centerline. The entire drive train (engine, torque tune and T56 transaxle) can be dropped from the car by popping the upper ball joints from the spindles, and removing the 8 bolts that hold the lower cradles to the chassis. It's like a big zipper.
For the right buyer, I'll upgrade whatever steel parts I can to Anvil Auto 100% carbon fiber replacements to further lighten the vehicle.

dude no! i was so anxious to see this get done. well good luck with your current camaro and the sale. some one is gonna get a hell of a deal.

That is pretty cool if that is what your into, I suppose.

Any recent pics?
Is the chassis even done? does it roll?

i guess its not as kewl as that dramatic post of mine makes it seem...its an alright car i suppose :)

The chassis is close to being a roller. When I talked to Tyler yesterday he said we would make it a roller for that price. The Most recent pics of the work are what's on the net already. We have added a few tabs and brackets to get some things landed but not a whole lots has been done in a long time.

This is a smoking deal on this car. Smokin

Hopefully members catch on to your infamous phrasing between you and about 10 members here. Joking set aside, Not sure how far along the car is, but I do know since Tyler dropped it off there, Ironworks definitely corrected it's past issues with the set up. Next step... photo album for the sale.
Good luck Tyler and hopefully any potential customers can see it through as the 50/50.

I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!!!

Well....that is if I wasn't $39k short!!! That is one sweet chassis.:wow:

I thought it had been stolen








:D


good luck with the sale!

Are all the fabrication issues from the previous shop fixed? The pictures show some things that needed a do over on the PT.com link listed above. Is that the current state of things?:cheers:

All issues have been fixed. It is a brand new chassis, full tube with much lighter weight.

Tyler

Good to know. Thanks Tyler. Best of luck with the sale.:cheers:

The car is stored in the Back corner and lighting is difficult. The has a lengthened torque tube and the front cradle has been landed with all the tabs and brackets. This is probably some of the Best tube work we have ever done.

Good luck with the sale Tyler. Sucks you have to sell it.
GOOD LUCK!:thumbsup:

I just edited the first post to include current pictures.

Tyler

That's a 996 Turbo gauge cluster I believe? I have always wanted someone to put that in a 1st gen. Sweet.

You are correct sir. I still have that cluster; it will be included with the sale.

Tyler
