Re: Aftermarket Frame

I don't know of any, but why not get a rust free truck and use the frame on that - sell or scrap the rest?

Re: Aftermarket Frame

Well, I want to have IFS with coil-overs and tubular arms, r & p steering, 9" rear end, bed mount tank for efi, 4 link rear, big disc brakes all the way around, all set up and ready for a hot LSX. Look, I just might have found it!

Re: Aftermarket Frame

Here is a project that they got a roadster shop chassis under a squarebody. This is a sick build.

Roadster Shop would be my top choice.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
