Tube chassis design

[Mean 69]

So... You're in San Diego, eh? Well then! You'll just have to give me a shout and come by to see the goods. My shop is in Carlsbad!

We can accomodate just about anything from a "custom" standpoint, in this case, the floater axle assembly is a non-issue, no sweat on our part. Obviously we'd need to know what snouts you'll be using (GN, HOWE, etc), and it might require a modification to our assembly/welding fixture, but we're here to please.

We won't be using Corvette control arms, but it is very possible that we will be using the C5 hub pack on our custom spindles. I think there's enough meat on the hub to drill for larger studs, but that is without question an open issue, we'd have to look into it. We are in the process of building a 70 Camaro that will basically be the demo vehicle for the shop, the front stub is being prototyped right now, though there are still some open items. One thing for certain on this setup, at minimum for my own car, there will be a pretty good motor setback in order to get the suspension geometry we want, while still allowing room for the rack (front steer), and having "correct" steering (no cheating by moving the engine up, or having bad bump steer issues, or putting the rack in a place that will kill it after a thousand miles...). No doubt most folks won't want this as a product for their own car, but it will be "right."

Sounds like you want a pretty 'core project car, and while we love them all, the tough ones get us stoked up and give us a chance to show our prowess and creativity.
