I'm curious, are you building this bad a$$ ride for yourself, as a shop car or for a customer?

Anyway, i love what you are doing, i can't wait to see it on the ground and am hoping for a MENACING stance!!!

Any idea yet on wheel/ tire size and choice? (You know that bigger is always better yeah?)

Lead.

Oh, how about you'd put all your follow ups in the same thread so we don't miss anything from new thread start ups?! This car deserve's to be seen built!

this is Louie's personal car, so its kinda like a shop project. He will drive this as his DD when its done. Louie has the tire and wheels but im not sure what size they are. That was all his decision. Im the head fabricator so i make alot of the metal decisions, BUT......


The next shop project will be a Jason Heard creation, and well, it is going to be intense!!!!
HINT: ALL 4130 TIG welded, chassis, Front suspension, and Rear suspension. OH and dare i say, CHEVY!

rear cantilever system. . .hmmmm. . .reminds me of all the desert racing trophy trucks. . .I definitely wanna see that rear suspension when you are done with it!!! The cantilevers look pretty trick. . .mini off-road racing stuff.
