Hi guys I currently have a 68 charger semi pro touring/street car.

in a few years I want to totally redo it and build everything myself.
I have been thinking and here is a potential list of the things I want to do and I am hoping for some criticism or ideas.

* remove unibody floor and frame rails and fabricate my own full chassis to slide up under and well to the rockers then install a custom floor.
* either 3 or 4 link with a strange 60 diff
* magnum T56 box
* full aluminium big block wedge stroked to probably 540 or 610 and then maybe twin turbo.
* corvette style front end or something similar to roadster shop or AME

I have access to all types of machinery, box tube formers and benders, laser cutters etc. and I am a boilermaker by trade and starting mechanical engineering next year at Uni.

Is there anyone that can design me a chassis if I pay them and supply all necessary measurements so I can take those drawings to a few guys I know and they can form the rails etc.

whats your thoughts on all of this?

My plan is to build a show/street/daily driven and occasionally race car. durability and longetivity is preferred

Build another car, keep this one to drive during construction.

If you are going to be a mechanical engineer, design your own frame. You can probably use it as a class project.
