The start of our custom chassis, featuring Speedtech Performance's "universal" stub section, complete with their awesome high clearance arms and AFX spindles!

The whole chassis design is interlocking pieces, so crossmembers and mounts arent just butt welded to an existing rail, they are welded to it on the inside and to both sides of the rail to increase rigidity!

It's the anti-Runt.





Seriously, that is cool to see one of these done like that.

Ignore the unfinished shop in the background please! This was a while ago while we were still making our move into a new facility!

Oh and before someone points out that the exhaust looks different over the diff, remember it has a watts link, one high one low, so its necessary!!! I always take great pride in my exhaust and how its layed out and balanced, unfortunately this one is a bit different!
