Art Morrison Max G Chassis under a 1st Gen Camaro - Lateral-g Forums

Nutsy · #1 03-31-2005, 06:04 PM

Just got this months PHR and read the AD from Art Morrison.

"Simply drop your car's body over the frame and build a new floorboard. Its a project that do-it-yourself home builders can do! Call now on details on giving your Camaro, Challenger, Chevelle, Dart, Demon, GTO, Nova (or ???) contemporary chassis technology performance."

Ok. Time for some discussion. Questions:

1. Realistically how much work is this?

2. Is this a better all around solution (performance wise) for a 700hp+ Camaro than an aftermarket front clip (WD, DSE, AM, etc.), frame connectors, and a well designed rear suspension?

3. How much would this be in comparison to a completely built DSE or WD front clip and custom rear setup such as a 3 link or IRS?

4. Has anybody actually looked into this at all? If so, please post your findings.

5. If you were planning a ground up build on your car, what would you do?

Talk amoungst yourselves!!

It will be interesting to see it done... Don't know if it will perform better than the current "methods" ie, SFCs, upgraded front sub, etc...

I keep looking at that, too. I think I'll make a phone call today and see what they have to say about it. I'm curious what the front track width is among other details.

Scott while you are on the phone, see if you can get some $$$ numbers too! I am eager to hear more details.

There's some general info on it on pages 17 and 18 of their 2005 catalog, but I'm still going to call them and see what they have to say about it. I have a few questions, and it does sound interesting.

Sure looks interesting...

You caught me Scott!

I figured I would sign up so I can answer any questions from time to time. This chassis is a new part for us, one of the first cars to use this type of chassis is a 70 Challenger being built by Bobby Alloway that will debut at Coumbus. Here is a pic.

If I can answer any questions, please let me know!

Welcome Craig...Looks like a killer product!

Hmmmm,I like that

Welcome, Craig.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and checking out Lateral-g.

The chassis is definitely something that interests me, and by the looks of it, several others as well. From what Don told me, my Baer brakes won't work with the spindles that you're using with the tubular control arms. Would I have any other options?
