Chassisworks/Marquez SEMA Camaro Sneak Peek

[manny z]

Not sure if you get this question much but, I am going to throw it out there.

In now way am I trying to sling any crap but, why are you guys spending all this time and effort on a car that has had sooooo many aftermarket manufactures build just about anything you can think of, and then some for it?

I know some people here will say because there so many people building camaros, there is going to be a high demand for hotrod parts. So why offer another match for the fire? When it is going pretty good?

You guys also have the ford area pretty covered as well with the total control parts. You have taken it a little further then I am sure Terry would of been able to.

Yes I am very partial to Mopars, so I am going to throw it out there. Why never any Mopar parts? I am sure that if you guys were to offer them, you would get much interest in them. With your history, I am sure there would be no question if anything you guys were to offer to the Mopar world, would work well.

Like how about a 3 bar rear suspension with a watts link.
A triagulated rear suspension system.
A new front suspension sytem that works well, and not priced for peope with bottomless pits for pockets.
A coilover conversion that would work with the facory K member, that does not put the coilover on the inner fender like some aftermarket guys.

Torsion type sway bars, etc...

Well I have had my say. I personally dont really like what is out there right now for Mopars, except for one place. That is why I am eventually going to have to design and build my own.

Is the front end build with one off parts? Did chassis works redesign the front sub to get a 305/19 to work?

I was just rereading through this thread and noticed this comment. Sorry I missed it before.

The frame is different than our standard front clip and will clear the 305. The wheels and tires are on it right now. Yes, it looks awesome.

Anymore cool stuff still to come?

There is a lot more 'cool stuff' to come. Watch this space and the Chassisworks website. I may be posting something later this afternoon, early tomorrow morning at the latest. Read between the lines and you might notice part of the car is left out...

Starting today we will be introducing some new components for the high-power, big tire, pro-touring machine that will help your car hook up and shoot off the corner. Our 4x2 Canted 4-link Rear Frame System is a B-pillar back system that will allow the car to sit super low while still maintaining a safe amount of suspension travel. Our SEMA display ‘69 is about 4” off the ground at the rocker and tucks a lot of rear wheel.

One of the goals in designing this system was to have something that the average builder wouldn’t be scared to work with. Installation is straight forward and does not require a chassis table or frame fixture. Both Chris and Pascual maintain that it’s less complicated than installing a pair of mini tubs. Part of what makes it so easy is that the main rear frame section ships from the Chassisworks factory fully welded to the maximum narrowed width with all the suspension pickups installed. You don’t have to do any complicated measuring or engineering; it’s already been done for you.

Over the next few days I will post more information about other components. Check out a bigger version of the picture below at the Sneak Peek page and click on the PDF to see more angles and read more technical data. These data sheets have a ton of information and sometimes you can see something that I haven’t talked about yet.
