Okay lets end all the speculation.
Roger send me one i'll weld it in the garage, I won't use any tools that a DIY doesn't have, then I'll send it back to you. You can measure it all out. And post the results.
I think its a real neat piece that could make a DIY look like a pro to his friends when he is finished.

I'm not sure the speculation will end for a while. I was the most unsure that this would work over a year ago when we built the first chassis. I was blown away how square it came out. Last Friday when I posted this thread I was just looking for five 5 guys to just try the frame out, I figured it would take me a few weeks to come up with the guys I wanted. I had no idea people would come out of the woodwork to want to try and buy this. I'm still prototyping the frame and looking to do further testing. My email and Pm box have been over whelmed and the phone rang off the hook yesterday. I had no idea. So thanks for the overwhelming response, I'm excited to think we might have a product worth all this work.

I absolutely love this idea. My Dad and I can't quit talking about it. I had heard you were working on this idea some time ago. I'm glad to see it all coming together.

My Dad wants one of these frames for his 57 Ford F100!!!!! He loves to fab and weld and would really enjoy welding one of these up - I would too!

I'm sure the oddball stuff (ie Ford Truck) is way down on the list, as it should be - you gotta go where the volume is. What is the possibility for low volume stuff? Obviously the developmental cost would be spread over fewer products which would potentially result in a higher price. Just wondering if that is a possibility down the road.

Keep up the good work.

When I cut the Unibody chassis, we did cut 2...... If you want one let me know.

Full frames flex so not sure how anybody is keeping a 1/16 tolerance? Then add in how, by who and with what the frame is being measured and you can start with 1/16 and go up from there.


Looks like cool idea. I think the buyer will be someone that has a bench and some experience and wants to save thousands over an assembled version and shipping hassles. There are other options for those that want and bolt on piece. Gives a builder options rather than a fit the frame to their design.

That being said the first question I would ask is are there any frames on the road and with how many miles? And the important...How did they perform??? They can look pretty in a pic and be a flop. I know you are in prototype stage and will assume this will be addressed before released.


1st gen Camaro would be a huge sell. Easily go UPS and could be adapted to Street Rod crowd that does Camaro clips.

Again, great idea Rodger.
Good luck with this.
