those tires are huge!?!? i don't think you'll be able to get enough heat into them especially with a UTQG of 80. you might be quicker with something smaller or adding more weight into the car.

Experimental, we will see

[Ron S]

What brand are the tire's.Look's Good.

They are the Kuhmo's, they are closeouts. Needed them for mockup, got them new for $106 a peice, I kinda dig them though.

[lotarust]

Two things I know Ron can handle, thinking outside the box and putting the heat in to the tires! I have no doubt he can handle those big ass sneakers!

[WS6]

Fantastic idea Ron. I'm really interested in seeing the underslung chassis too. Keep up the pictures and great work as always.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

gawdaamn.. this thing is gonna be cool!

[Torquedork]

Curious as to where you're extending the wheelbase. Behind the door or in front of the door.

Any concept looks???

[dusterbd13]

i definately have tire envy. my god, those things are huge.

and one of the cool things about an underslung chassis is the ability to make a perfectly flat undercarriage for aero.
hmm....

ron, you could do that. hell, you can do anything. i bet you could even make your own one off spindles. ive seen you do everything short of that between this car and the mustang.....

Got the torque arm set and the center of the rear crossmember built. Was hoping to get the body set on tomorrow, but it seems I'm going to get a Christmas tree instead

[racin66coupe]

this will be awesome!
really like the underslung rear

[dropit69]

WOW Ron this is gonna be an awesome build..will this one have windows?..lol..

Yeah Darrin, windows, heat, wipers, I'm even considering A/C

Its funny you say that, I am considering making a spindle for the front, that will use a full floating hub, and C5 corvette geometry

LOL...I was thinking the same thing.

[justimagine]

Jesus Ron - i don't even know what to say....subscribed!!

[Ron S]

Had to build this shackle pivot for the torque arm. Its alot more sophisticated then it looks, the mount gets a roller bearing in each side.

Are you thinking of using a hollow snout or? Would'nt it at this point add quite a bit positive WMS?

[racin66coupe]

is all that tigged?

[Ron S]

No, if I design it from scratch, I can use a hollow snout, move the whole attachment surface to the rear of the spindle to create enough clearance for the hub. C5 brake rotors are probably only .250" away from the lower ball joint, and unfortunatly need to keep that same distance to keep the scrub radius and geometry correct.

[Ron S]

is all that tigged?

Alot of the chassis is tigged, but not all of it, just too time consuming. Unfortunatly I work ten hours a day at my regular job.

[elitecustombody]

Ron, what's the deal on that little truck?
