Is it done yet?

Is it at least longer than a Torino now?

No charge Payton

In hot rodding circles it's quite kool to CHOP or CHANNEL a car..... So I think Payton is on to a whole new era of what will no doubt become the next big thing to hit the Pro-Touring world -- "The Frame Section"... AKA: Alternate Wheel Base Car. Back in my day - the hottest thing at the drag races were the AA/FX cars...

I think the man is on to something here. With a mild reposition of the body mounts one can choose to offset to the front of the wheel wells.... per this example:











Or one can choose to offset the rear and gain some traction if needed. Personally I think the choice boils down to whether a guy chooses to have his car Push - - or Oversteer.

I've always found it far easier to adjust the body/chassis location vs. trying to make the chassis fit the wheel wells. The factory really choose such an arbitrary location for those anyway.

I love those altered wheelbase cars, can you imagine trying to road course that Dodge.LOL

I think Payton's has a pretty good game plan, the problem is the deeper he digs the more he finds. Hey, you can't take it with you. You might as well go for broke and annihilate the boys inheritance.

Glad you found your salt shaker for my wounds GW. LOL

We have a game plan and progress pics should be coming soon. Going to the lake on the 4th was way more important.

Payton Sorry to hear all these problems. These long distance builds are tough, you can't stay on top of everything you would notice if you were seeing it go together. I know it takes the wind out of your sails but you have a good hold on what you want to do so you'll get it done . I hope it gets easier from here on out.

Minor update...wheel base is actually 111 inches. I am looking for a long wheel base C10 to put the frame under.

Should be cutting the front clip off and moving back 3 inches and up 2 inches. The cutting starts Saturday.
