Also, you can see where the ride height can be adjusted up or down by moving the rear control arm mounting points.


Lastly, here are a few pics of how well the frame tucks and hides up under the body. This part of the frame will be hid when the rear, wheel wells are built.


This part of the frame will be hid when the front fender is on.


This is the rocker and there is no "hang down". No pun intended!


That's all for now guys. Sorry to bore y'all to death, but I heard y'all liked pics.

I love the idea of adjusting the track width. That's genius. But I can't wrap my mind around the axle length...do they have a slip type yoke, or adjustable length in some way? Marcus, the ride height is perfect!

Awesome update Marcus. That chassis is amazing. Good thinking on the adjustable track width. Is this a first? Don't think I have ever heard of that.

Of course, you know everyone here loves pictures. Thanks for showing us what is going on.

Scott, if you're familiar with the C5/C6 spindle, the end of the axle goes thru a spindled hub. At the end of the axles, they are threaded and a large nut screws onto the end. Well, my builder ordered the axles about an 2" longer to accomodate going outward with the track width. As you can see from the pic with the lower control arm, there are four holes. Making the track width adjustable outward up to 4". But, of course we know I'll never adjust outward 4".

I think it is a first Heep. I have never seen any of the other chassis builders do it. Not saying that it's the invention of the light bulb or anything, but I have never seen it with any of the modern, muscle car chassis builders.

very nice, don't forget you can shim the body for fine adjustments.
