      Your thoughts ona future build for me

      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
      Mopar or no Car

      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.
