Anyone know about this?

I was looking to lay out my 55 and was given a 76 ElCamino for the motor, trans and rear. Hoping I could use the front clip frame section as well but it looks like too much fab work involved. Someone sent me this link http://www.nolimit.net/prodinfo.asp?number=CHPACK%2D55
Looks like a great deal but no sure of the quality. Does anyone know anything about this company or their products??

If you have a real good virgin frame, sell it to someone thats gona keep it that way and get one of these. With those no limit things you will still have lots of fab time. And run the chance of ruining the frame too boot. Or go to some swap meets and maybe you'll find one clipped already. I did this week end and you could have got a whole clipped 57 chev pickup for 750.

dicer must have lots of money for you to spend the frame hes talking about will run you about $11-12,000 plus delivery. Hey, why not go all the way and put all repop sheetmetal on it too, thats only about another 13,000 or so, right? Just kidding...

There are lots of ways to go, NoLimit stuff is good from what Ive read but it still involves quite a bit of welding and set-up to install.

The owner or manager of nolimit contributes to the suspension section here often. I think they also give out a discount to members of this forum. I've heard good things about the parts they sell and only one bad mouthing and think that was more a personal issue with the buyer. It looks like a nice kit and if your like me and enjoy the fabrication part of a project then I'd go for it. If fabing isn't your bag then get something done or have someone do it for you. But I'm sure you know that most times our available $$$ dictates what we end up doing.

http://www.kimbridgeent.com/194755chevypickup.htm about mid way down the page has a clip that I'm doing now. You can use S10 or G body parts on it or mix and match as I'm doing. Mine is S10 ZQ8 spindles (2 wheel Drive Blazer) and 12" vette C5 brakes with G body A Frames.

This one is also interesting at $500

So you have a lot of options.

Re: Anyone know about this?

Is this what you are wanting to do?
Start with the stock frame and build it how you want it. I would recomend clipping the front camaro or Heits Mustang2.
