For real, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Back in the late 80's when I was in high school, guys had the triple gold wire wheels in a 13" or 14" sticking out 2"-3" past the fender. That was cool as hell back in the day, but boy was it silly. And you are right Sieg, your car had to be brown if you had triple gold wire wheels. And, Dayton's were too expensive, so everyone had either McLean's or the one's picture here with the Eagle on the centercap.

Nice progress guys.is the frame in the car ? or are you guys just playing with the ride height for the new chassis to follow suit? the way the cad drawings looked this is going to be a unibody car? or is the chassis going to bolt on? keep up the great work. ps. you might want to add more length to the pedal travel so gregs legs can reach the pedals.

The Final prototype Chassis is FINALLY under the car. That is as low as the ride height can go on our chassis.

The Car has adjustable electric Brake and Gas pedals from a modern car. That should make it more comfortable for everyone.

I am hoping this chassis looks half as nice as the one under your black Truck.

PS. I am not sure Greg could afford the three girls maybe just the painting of them. Of course that might get him in trouble also.

I don't understand you guys -

"The car looks too low".

You can tell me the car is functionally too low and will hit driveway ramps or speed bumps. But this crap about "the car looks too low" , that is not possible.

Okay the idea of a 1" rake back to front would look good though.

I agree - I love the stance and if this is a completly Bolt-On Chassis that is pretty Awesome.

It's like I said to Rodger.... there's only one guys opinion that counts... and that's the guy that is paying the bill.

However... everyone needs to remember that Ironworks is also developing the chassis for these cars ('58 to '64 X frame cars) and this was/is the basis for this car being built in the first place. So if you like LOW... then this is the chassis to look for because obviously it get's 'er done!

I'm really looking forward to seeing this car at finished stance and in paint.........even if you don't go with the wire wheels.
