I have a 68 charger that in about a year I will be stripping down and removing floors and frames as I want to build 'MY OWN' chassis to weld in to the body.
Is there any chassis designers that once I pay them and give dimensions and ideas they can design it and make sure it will work well. Supply drawings with all measurements and angles etc.
I would love to buy a chassis like an AME one or roadster shop etc. but the cost to get one to Australia would kill me.

can anyone help, Ron Sutton was going to help but cant get any word back from him, is he okay?

LOL, I'm fine Ben. I don't show I have a message from you. Did you PM me or email?

As far as designing you a chassis, I'd love to. But I am booked out to August 15th at the moment. Maybe someone else can get to your project sooner?

:cheers:

If you have access to any sort of CAD it would be a big help. With enough research, you can do anything. With that said.. what sort of driving will you be doing? I would think that would have an effect on what you come up with.

Pictures and any papers/posts you can find about chassis design will help you a lot. My understanding is that you essentially want to mitigate torsional stresses as much as possible. Measurements for stock mounting points and the like should be fairly easy to run down or come up with on your own.

Hi Ben where in qld are you? Im doing a similar sort of project and have gone through a lot of this already. I am definately not at Rons level but I could help bounce ideas off.

60% street, the rest will be split between, drag, autox, and track/lap racing
