Attention Tri-5 Chevy guys. Ironworks Do-It-Yourself chassis.

[ironworks]

Well Guys I have been working on this project for a while. It is chassis for the Tri-5 crowd that would be sold in both a fully welded kit and also in a do it your self fashion. The chassis goes together just like a snap together model. You slide this tab into this slot and index this part into this part. It is really easy.

The Frame starts out like this. A bunch of laser cut plates.


Then you tack together the entire chassis. You can see some of the many tabs and slots that stick through the plates and interlock to assist in assembly.




The body mounts position themselves in the chassis. It is easy.




After everything has been tacked together. You begin to weld chassis together.




We are currently designing the Modular rack mounts to be able to run 3 different racks, AGR, flaming river, and a Woodward steering rack. The Rear suspension is four link with a watts link. We plan to sell the exhaust and fuel tank mounted in the car. The motor and trans mounts will be adjustable to allow you to mount the engine where you choose.

What I'm looking for are 3-4 test subjects who have medium skills and want to build their own chassis. You do not need a jig fixture to assemble this chassis, and I don't think it is possible to put it together wrong. We plan to sell these kits with a welded rear axle housing with all brackets and axles installed. You just assemble the chassis like a snap together model and bolt on the C6 vette suspension and all the machined suspension parts for the front and rear suspension. With the up coming west coast events I would like to coordinate with test subjects be able to coordinate the builds.

Let me know your thoughts on the product and your thoughts on the do it your self aspect.

Final assembled pics of the chassis will come when we unveil the new product officially at Del Mar next month.

Thanks
