You ever work really hard on something only to have someone else come along and take credit for your work? That's why Scott gives a ****. He's already had his hard work and dedication ripped off. I'm sure he's not interested in seeing it happen to others. I'm not saying that's the case here because I honestly don't know. However, in case you didn't know why Scott responded the way he did, now you know.
Cris, how intrusive into the rear seat area will the three link be? I don't think I've seen a three link on any A-bodies.

Before this threads get into a mess, all I want to see is more awesome pics of a bad a$$ build and a nice chassis. By the way, I think this is a nice chassis.
More updates... currently got the chassis all welded up with the front suspension assembled.. Got the new Forgeline wheels & setting up jig to begin rear suspension design & fabrication... I will have some pics later on how the 3 link suspension will fit on the car...
Here are some pics of how our chassis was done… The frame rails were done in OE manner… I use fabricated torque boxes with as much bending that we can do.. We tried to optimize as much as we could so that we could reduce the welding.. Not as smooth & clean as other chassis that other companies do but was not working towards that.. just looking for a chassis to replace original with JCG suspension…
Here is a shot of how we attach the rear links.. Since Scott never jumped back in to tell me what was similar to the Ironworks Chassis.. This is the only part of our chassis that might be similar.. But I was doing leaf spring re-location kits on Tri-Fives to chassis’s that Danchuk sells.. about 8 years ago.. I like it because it keeps things out of the way..
The reason we are doing our own chassis & suspension.. because here @ JCG we have no boundaries on what we can design, machine, or build… We just look @ something and set our direction to build what we think is best for our applications.. When we run into issues .. We just look @ the problem & do what it takes to make it right for us & our customers… I currently have about 12 months of design time into all the suspension/chassis.. huge financial commitment on my behalf.. but has been well worth it.. I am just blessed with a great crew that can get the job done…
