Thanks, Hopefully before the end of the year.

I think 20's would look good on the rear. But, of course Roger has to do what the owner wants. If 19's look good on the rear of a Camaro, a 20 wouldn't be too big on the rear of a Chevelle being a bigger car and all. I also understand the logistics of the ride height too. Just my opinion though. It's going to look killer either way. By the way Roger, when are we gonna get some pics of the frame?

Great looking project and I agree on the 18 - 19 I think it's a great choice

I didn't know that you were making a Chevelle Chassis. What other chassis have you done or started.

Yep I saw that also. I was concerned with it being designed and built by Sema. That is a pretty lofty goal. He must have a chassis that they have already designed

What I remember

Tri-Five
62 Bel Air X Frame
and must be a Chevelle.

the funny thing is I think I remember one at GG Columbus but my brain isn't working really good tonight.

I would have thought with as much as your on here your would have remembered more then that. We have actually had a 64-67 Chevelle frame for a few years that is under quite a few Chevelle projects. When this customer asked me to sell him his 2nd chassis for this Chevelle project, I knew I would be able to modify the 64-67 chassis to the 68-72 dimensions. These 2 chassis's are very similar and the way we have these designed you just have to plug in the new dimensional numbers. I waiting on the test piece for the rear kick up and then I can finalize ride height as 68-72's cannot sit as low at the 64-67's.

Since we are not painting the car and just adding some cool parts like a billet dash and other cool odds and ends to meet the customers expectations, SEMA is possible. If it happens cool and if it does not that's fine also. I'm not going to cut corners to make it happen. It would be nice to go to SEMA and not have to babysit some cars for once also. We have no reasons not to knock this car out in no time at all. It's really just a frame and engine trans swap with some custom parts like a billet dash, with some interior parts and air conditioning. The customer loved everything about the car except for the way it drove. We plan to change that.
