Default Well I'm boarded

I've been cleaning up the shop throwing a bunch of junk out. I got boarded so I decided to build a chassis. The front end is from a 84 Suburban I had the steel is left over from jobs long gone.



The ride height will be 5.5 " With 20 X 8 wheels


2X4 .083 Wall tube



I aways wanted to try this the truck will be so low with straight suspension I decide to wack 2 inches out of the center crossmember





I post some more pictures in a couple of days. LATER!

A friend of mine works at one of the NASCAR teams he said that he would make me a center link. All I have to do is cut the old one to lenght so he can measure it up.

Race-Rodz asked me if this was the Corn Binder? Sad to say it's not I have to save up some money to get my wheels I really like those Boze Forged Pro-Tournig wheels. So i'll do this one real quick because I have the parts this project is all spare parts and left over steel.

Looking forward to see how this one ends up.
Wish you got the chance to finish the road racing mustang. It was(and hope it will remain) an informative/ entertaining show.

I thought that the engine might sit alittle to high so I made the crossmember thinner.







I made some mounts and put in the engine.
