IF I had graduated -- I did not -- I would have been class of '71 @ Parkrose.
Talk to Dick Pruitt about paint. He's slow but good - and he does a fantastic paint job. I've also had two cars painted by Steve Frisbee -- but I can't stand the man. Never again.
I own a 40 Ford pickup project that's running a Roadster shop chassis.... I built a 69 Camaro for my Brother in Law (lives there in Portland) using a TCI front clip because he liked the tube look for his blown pro street car... I owned #4 of the C5 clips built by a guy up in Washington (since closed up)... I've built cars using Art Morrison full chassis and others using just their parts....
My '56 Nomad had an early Jim Meyer chassis.... here's where the WRONG choice was the only choice at the time I built that car.... HEIM JOINTS on a street car?? Well lets just say.... don't you do it.... no sir. Not if you like to drive the car.
Each of those cars DROVE great... but were built for their purpose. The tri five AM chassis car was just a driver and that chassis DROVE FANTASTICALLY! My BIL's pro street car drives like a Caddilac.... straight as an arrow.... and tracks great! He has bicycle tires up front.... and 18" wide crap out back.
Much of this will be the install...... and who does the work.
