Nate,

Great pictures. You guys do some amazing fab work. I have a quick question about your chassis jig if you don't mind. It looks like it's on wheels and you can roll it out from under the chassis. How does that work? I've always wondered what the best way to build a chassis jig would be and how to get a car on and off of it.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan - We just pull the chassis on and off of the jig with a forklift, or with some man power. It's actually sitting on trailer axles and has a ball hitch so we can stick it out back with the car haulers when it's not in use.

I did. It looks like the engine nacelle bulge of a fighter jet.

Either way, awesome build. Subscribed.

I like what you've done so far. Although LT5 is all aluminum, it still weighs almost the same as old big block, still pretty exotic choice, there was one 65 at Carlisle this year with LT5 and ZF6.

I still preffer the stock body lines over the opened up wheel wells. Here's how a friend of mine solved the problem of how to fit big wheels in a mid year:



Great to see a serious vette project here, keep us posted!
