Again, looks awesome!

The front wheels at full compression have plenty of room.When the front wheels are turned lock to lock there is plenty of room.The front centerline
of the wheels are moved forward 1 inch from stock.We do this on our c-10
chassis and our c-10 ifs kits.This will center the front wheel into the fender.

I'll shoot a few pictures so you guys can see the frame and firewall clearance. We set them up with the wheels set forward 1". As it sits right now, there is a ton of room between the firewall and wheels. I think the mock ups are about 3" shorter than the actual wheels/tires being used, but even with that, there's plenty of room.

I guess it just depends on what the definition of tube chassis is. We build some chassis's with round tubing, and build some with square tubing. We wanted our typical "off the shelf" chassis under this one to represent what would be typical if someone were to call an order one. I have a few round chassis cars I'll take a few pics of for you guys. They do look pretty cool.

Right now the guys are setting up the ground clearance. The rockers are being trimmed and remade, ad the rear of the cab is being redone too.



You can see just how much we are taking out of the rocker. Seems like a lot, but it'll really not be noticeable when it's all finished.

[tech@scotts]

The body will sit level with the frame when it's finished. All said and done, it will give us our 4" of ground clearance that we need.

Here's a better view of the rocker. It'll be finished with a sheet metal cap and shaped correctly.

I can't wait to see this one finished.

[tech@scotts]

Not the best of pics cause the cars pretty low on the ground, but here's a pretty much finished rocker.

Well, the roof's off
