It is a Chevelle chassis.. but only will be offered to my in house builds for the time being.. I got two of them in house right now & two more in the next couple of months arriving.. Only reason it drove me to do my own.. only way I can justify the design time to do my own chassis.. plus a few other projects that are not Chevelles is driving our own design...

Chassis is almost done.. Rear suspension is in design .. front suspension have not started yet..

Default chevelle frame
do you plan on using the standard c5/6 spindles and what do you plan on doing in the rear? Personally I think it would be pretty cool if some company would use the speed tech model for a chevelle chassis. I would like to see one built that uses the stock A arms, even if the geometry isnt the best it could be improved by adjusting pivot points etc. As for now if you are on a budget HPI is your only alternative to the expensive stuff.

Front suspension will be more than likely C6 based.. Rear suspension will be 3 link with pannard bar with option to do watts..

Last nite we modeled wheels .. Saturday I got schooled on gusset designs by my engineer.. center section will change some...

Great SolidWorks modeling! Where did you get the engine model from? Download for free or (I'm guessing) purchase?
