Well I'm boarded - Lateral-g Forums

I've been cleaning up the shop throwing a bunch of junk out. I got boarded so I decided to build a chassis. The front end is from a 84 Suburban I had the steel is left over from jobs long gone.

The ride height will be 5.5 " With 20 X 8 wheels

2X4 .083 Wall tube

I aways wanted to try this the truck will be so low with straight suspension I decide to wack 2 inches out of the center crossmember

I post some more pictures in a couple of days. LATER!

I thought that the engine might sit alittle to high so I made the crossmember thinner.

I made some mounts and put in the engine.

So what are the plans for the body? What year are you going with? I like your adjustment hole set up on the frame jig looks like a style I may have to copy for one I am starting to build. Any other shots of the table it self?

Most of the heavy work is done. I'll hang the body and nose so I can make the core support.

Nice work. Are you using a turbo 350 or 400 with the gear vendors? Why did you pick the Gear Vendors?

A friend of mine works at one of the NASCAR teams he said that he would make me a center link. All I have to do is cut the old one to lenght so he can measure it up.

Race-Rodz asked me if this was the Corn Binder? Sad to say it's not I have to save up some money to get my wheels I really like those Boze Forged Pro-Tournig wheels. So i'll do this one real quick because I have the parts this project is all spare parts and left over steel.
