Art Morisson Max G for camaro

[468mike]

I went to Website to check it out, it seems like the info is vague on the applications, I did not see any prices either. Is seems like the way to go. Has anyone got one yet, or have any input on it?
I was also wondering how to build and/or buy a floor pan for it.

Mike, I encourage you to stop by whenever you are on the west side to see one for yourself, we'll give you a tour of the place.

The reason why we are vague on what it fits is because you can make it fit just about anything. The weirdest one we did was for a '46 Plymouth, but we usually make them for Camaros, Mustangs, Cudas, etc. Pricing is also vague because of the extremely wide variety of options...it's impossible to give a guy a basic quote without knowing brakes, suspension type, axle type, etc. You need to contact one of our sales guys for that info, and don't feel the need to purchase anything when contacting them.

There are dozens of these chassis out there, with another being built every 8 hours, but most of the cars are still under construction. There are a few that are running now such as Alloway's Challenger.

Sounds good. Call Kevin (in sales) in advance and tell him I told you to stop by.

I emailed them about a frame for a 2nd Gen F-Body Firebird. They replied back to me that they have a frame for my Mustang???? I replied back and told them that is just great provided I had a Mustang! I asked again in the same email if they had a frame for a 2nd Gen F-Body Firebird and never got a repsonse back. Not to impressed with there replies thus far.

We get hundreds of emails each day, we really do go out of our way to help everybody out...but we're not perfect. Please give us a call if you are serious and looking for detailed information!!

We have a frame for just about any car from 1930 and up, assuming you're looking for a "builder's frame". We have several platforms for a 2nd gen, assuming you don't want a bolt-in deal.

I've been in touch with AME and was very impressed. The salesman (Don?)was very patient with me considering I was just asking questions and not purchasing at the time. Seriously, call them and ask away. You'll find that they are patient and full of info, even if you're just tire-kicking. (The catalog has what seems to be "bare" pricing on Page 15.)

That being said, Matt, do you guys have body/engine mount measurment info on hand for 1st gen Camaros for when we need to fab some up?

Also, how "welded" are the rear clips? ie: do the rear 4-bar kits come welded at the frame/crossmember, or just have brackets welded?

[silver69camaro]

Y-Try,
Thanks for the kind words. Don is the guy who can talk on the phone for hours and hours, and he's full of good info.

Anyway, I do have engine location dimensions for first gens. Please note that our bolt-on subframe will have the engine mount already welded on, and we are hoping to install these mounts on our Max-G frame soon for an additional cost. They are currently not installed on the Max-G chassis because 90% of builders (whether professional or not) are willing to move the engine back a couple inches. We designed this frame with performance in mind, and weight distribution is a big priority. Anyway, if you do need these dimensions, get a hold of me here and I'll have one of the salesmen fax or email a CAD drawing to you.

I'm not sure if I understand the question on the welded rear clip. Check out the top photo on this page:

That's what most people order. In F-bodies, these clips work out very well and in most cases you can keep the rear seat (unless if you have a unusual tire/ride height combo, say a 30" tire with a 4" ride height).

Thanks again, Matt.

My question of the rear clip is.. When it's welded by you guys, does it come as a square, as shown, with the lateral crossmembers welded to the rails? Is it completely assembled so that all we do is bolt on the rods, shocks and rearend (after attaching to car)?

Or.. do we get a box with 2 rails and 3 laterals with just the brackets welded to them?

Ive got a max g chassis for a 68 camaro. its a beautiful piece of work. i wish i had more time to work on it. my camaro will not use the conventional weld the body to the frame. Mine will be channeled over the frame. As of right now the body is on the frame but still needs alot of fab work and money for suspension parts. There are pictures on this website in the project updates section if your interested. Chris

And i agree with a previous post- Don is the man !!! Chris

You can get it either way, welded or unwelded. I guess the unwelded kit wouldn't have the brackets welded to the front crossmember. The welded clip is just that - fully welded. The rearmost lateral tube (say where the bumper is) is tacked in so you can trim that as you wish, if at all. Everybody has their own way of attaching the clip to the body in that area.

When you get the clip at your door, it will look just like the clip in the catalog photo. The housing will be installed and aligned with the clip. So when you disassemble the clip for installation, make sure the rod ends stay in position. When it comes to putting the housing in the car, the housing will be square with the chassis (assuming the clip was welded square with the rest of the vehicle). The panhard (if needed), control arms, everything is set and ready to go.

Kamaroman, send us some photos when you get a chance. Finished or not! We love to see everybody's builds.

Dollar for dollar there is not a better deal out there. With my latest project I had called for one but I wanted to use a quick change and there were fitment problems. Honestly the amount of time spent fab'ng a frame was not worth it. Great product!

If you are tearing out the floor anyway it is actually an easier way to go. Guys get scared of ripping everything out but it is easier to suqre up. Make some heavy 2x3 or 2x4 mts in the front and lock pillar areas and the rest is simple 1 5/8 tubing with plates. The unibody with the full frame is rock solid. Just be sure to brace every opening and across before cutting anything. Also level center section at rockers.
