      I knew I kept the yellow shirt from the Pro-Touring dinner for a reason. To remind me that you were building a frame for my 67 Chevelle. I am very interested, but I all ready have ATS spindles and GW upper control arms. But now it's time to start saving. What about body mounts for the Chevelle? And a gas tank to fit the narrowed rear?

      Gentlemen,

      Please be patient with details. Jeff is getting his Ultima ready for the Silver State that is next week. He needs to be on the road by Wednesday.

      he had the ultima on the dyno sunday and was leaving for nevada today. I didn't even get any dyno numbers from him since he was pulling all nighters to get it ready for the zero to 200 to zero runs later this week

      How can it weigh 140 lbs less ?

      Doesn't seem the like the stock roller chassis could weight much more than 250 without wheels. If so that's a good weight loss.

      is there some advantage to using the double rails? Its probably stiffer than a normal 2*3 rail but seems heavier if so. Just curious what's driving that.

      I recognize those spindles though !

      !
      Because of lighter components than stock such as: steering rack, aluminum hubs, fabricated spindles, tubular sway bars, aluminum end links, gun drilled axles, aluminum rearend housing, (coil over) springs, aluminum body shocks, tubular arms, etc.
      Double rail is stiffer, 8 formed edges of tubes, vs 4.
      Same weight.
      Here's a pic of the std chassis which is a single rail.
      Thanks

      Jeff, how is the clearance for exhaust? How much of the frame shows below the car, F body, if body is not channeled? Thanks for creating a new and exciting alternative.

      The F body unit is quite a bit different than the A body shown.
      Hit hangs down no more than a subframe does with connectors.
      More pics are at www.gmachinechassis.com
      There's also a link to V8TV's 69 Camaro from there.
      thanks
