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.
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!
Really looking forward to what you and Rodger/IWK end up with since you're starting with a clean sheet of paper.
At the end of this colorful saga, I suggest a set of Intro wheels be given to the loyal, enduring thread subscriber (human or automated) that correctly guesses how many paint samples you'll end up having looked at.
Uhm, Doubt it - see Rodger borrowed them from Kenny 62 that is at his shop waiting for a Chassis to be completed. So unless Rodger coughs up the Money to pay for them, then they need to go back to Kenny.

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.
