Very nice! Like the side "RS" pieces from the rails to center of the car! Nice touch!

Very very nice.

One question - I think I see both Wilwood brakes and a Lokar e-brake handle mounted on the tranny tunnel.

How effective is that e-brake?

Very cool, Its awesome to see customers and builders revisiting a badass car and making it even better. That new chassis looks killer too. Hope it works as good as that old one that was under it!!!!

I want to know if the "old" chassis is going to be properly "recycled" into another project

This was one of our main areas to address in the re-design of the chassis. The goal was to get the new frame rail to be at the same location or less than where a stock frame rail sits in relation to the rocker. We were able to accomplish this and more! Our new frame rail design sits actually 3/4" closer to the body than a stock frame making it completely disappear under the car. As Chris said, it is a shame to cover this chassis up with a body, but our goal was to make a low profile frame as well as improve upon an already proven platform.

Now that's the way to do it!!!!!!!

Can you still use the stock front inner fender wells or do you have to massage them to make them fit? Also for the 65' frame? It could be just the pictures, but it looks like the frame comes out further forward into the wheel area?

Very, very nice. Great work coming out of that shop, that's for sure.
Keep us posted.

Thanks for the replies! We are really excited about this new version of our chassis. There are a few more major changes coming in the next day or two. Pictures will be up shortly.
