Re: Finally my own build thread!
What's that chassis built for, and is the torque-tube stock or lengthened (looks modified)? Sweet purchase

Re: Finally my own build thread!
I am not sure what that chassis is for. From what i was told everything is stock. I hope that is true. I kind of bought this chassis without doing my normal homework. I will find out alot more when i pick it up.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
It would be a miracle if it happened to be ~10.5-11" longer than stock

Re: Finally my own build thread!
The wheelbase is 104.5". I think these things have a flexible drive shaft so altering the wheelbase could be interesting.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well I have been very busy. Just a short recap on what is going on. I decided to stop on the c5 corvette project because i need alot of money to finish it they way i want (top notch, high performance everything) so i decided since i already had all the suspension parts that i would just start this build thread over and build it to sell. My goal is to get the truck done and show it at a few shows then sell it to help fund the c5 corvette project truck.
Here is what i have been doing to this project. I started over and built a whole new frame because i wanted to change a few things from the original design. I never liked how the shockwaves sat in the strong arms because the strong arms are designed for bags so i decided to change them. I cut out all of that flat steel and then built new mounting points for the shockwaves. It lowered the shockwave down an inch or so which made the whole setup a little cleaner. Then i changed Nathans original design for the upper control arm mounts not changing where the upper control arm mounts but just how they mount. I built a new upper mounts which moved the control arm to the other side of the mount allowing cleaner mounting point for the shockwave. The shockwave mount adds a little more strength to the upper control arm mount. Here are a few pics

Re: Finally my own build thread!
For the rear suspension setup i went with the cantilever rear suspension and a trianglated 4 link. I never liked on my old setup how the 4 link had different mounting brackets and i thought they never "flowed" so i decided to build them into the frame. The tubing ties into the tranny tunnel and then welds to both sides of the tube frame w/flat plate gussets to reinforce where it goes through the frame which strengthens the rear middle section and gives me a strong mounting point for the upper 4 link mounts. Here are some pics and a few more of the front suspension.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
That was all of the progress pics i took when building the new frame so here are a few pics of the finished frame. I think it came out great but that is just my opinion.
