Where you get that frame pic from joedoh?...thats doesnt look like the same one in their build videos...in the 5th video it has a ton of torsional bracing...

from the g machine page

http://www.schwartzperformance.com/1...is-full-frame/

looks like they do bracing if you want it because some frames are laddered

Daaaaamn that seems reasonable for a full frame kit when you look at all the work involved doing something like that.

That is quite a deal when they are competing with trucks that are specifically built to run those Goodguys Autocross events.

Schwartz had a really good build thread for that truck, you can see most of it in their “projects” section.

I too am perplexed about how minimal the Schwartz chassis’ are. Even their k members for other makes are fairly minimal. But, obviously they work. I suppose you can’t go fast with a bunch of extra weight.

If you look at the g machine chassis, it actually has a radius arm lower control arm, very interesting.

On a side note, the Raybestos truck is using Shelby 14” rotors and Toyota 4 piston calipers. Just food for thought.
