I love this idea! A friend of mine owns a off-road shop and has talked about this same idea for the jeep community. I know that there are a lot of sub-frames for Camaros, but most are expensive. I would love to have a DIY part that is cheaper than the others with the added clearance of a new subframe.
Rodger; A real DIY guy will find a way to make something work if he really wants it bad enoungh.He will take some of the money saved on the chassis and build a make shift jig if thats what he thinks he needs.He use that saved money on the upgraded welder he's been wanting.He does not sit on his ass in front of the pc dogging someone elses new idea.He looks at it takes something from it and uses it for hinself.The internet is flooded w/ socalled experts that dont know sh*t.So to make themselves feel good about having no fabrication or design skills they dog a nice idea or or someones fabicated parts.I love the Idea of a diy kit.I have thought of doing the same for the camaro frt sub frame for 1st. & 2nd. gen camaro's.Keep up the great work.Scott.
Thanks Scott, Eric ( Hwy Nova ) did the technical difficult work I just spit out the ideas. I have been amazed that it goes together so well with nothing more then a big table. We TIG welded this frame together moving the heat around and have not experience much distortion. I really think we might be on to something they have been doing this in the off road business for a few years now with round tube chassis's. they just need a solid table to build off of.
Once I get the remaining parts finalized and worked into the drawing we will ship a few out to some guys to test. I guess we will find out if we are that good or how easy it really is. The last 4 frames we have done like this were easy as pie on a 5x10 steel table with no fixtures of jig to speak of.
I can see a downside. Some cheap ass buys it along with a new welder and goes to town and it's all tweaked. I'd certainly cover my aise with some instructions on how to weld it with settings, moving around while welding, and break time. We all know just how inept the general public can be.
Very funny how you get your Knickers in a Knot if people dont approve of you 'Desiiign & Engineeering' dare i say....!
Oh what about the Engineeering.... hmmm Any real world testing? Hmmm
Nothing...
If they screw up welding this and comes off the road hurting himself or Others?
Public Liability Heard of that?
I cant wait to see the rest of it
Rodger; It's ideas like this that made this country great.The hot rod hobby is a great place to be involed in right now.A diy hot rodder can order some bad as$ suspenion parts now or a guy can see what some of the top builder are doing and try to do the same himself.THERES NO RULES IN HOT RODDING.Build what you want and have a good time.Some of the neatest ideas come out of the garages of guy's like Mark Steilow.
