Huge thank you for the suspension on cheap trick. Pb came through again. Here is a sneak peak at what's to come.

**superflysteiny** · 03-17-2015, 11:08 AM

I managed to get the rear and center section on the frame last night.

Caught up on all your projects from other than the 'work computer'....

very nice stuff you got going on! and sorry to hear about your mom, lost mine to the "C" also way back in '89. missed out on her being a part of my whole adult life pretty much.

I am sorry to hear that. I feel lucky to have mine as long as I did. I miss her everyday but I am glad she is out of pain.

PB stuff looking sharp as always!

gringoloco · 03-21-2015, 03:38 PM

In for suspension. Dig it so far.

**superflysteiny** · 03-21-2015, 10:50 PM

Here is an update. This is two days of work.

**nlped** · 03-21-2015, 10:54 PM

Nice!!!

mooseknuckles · 03-21-2015, 10:55 PM

Love the updates....the PB stuff looks awesome! ...I can't wait to get mine...

SCOTI · 03-21-2015, 11:17 PM

Is the Watt's set-up a new PB item?

Yes it's a new item. I think cheaptrick is the first to get this upgrade

**RRR18** · 03-21-2015, 11:38 PM

Was just gonna ask about that.

Rochlow · 03-22-2015, 09:18 AM

Great build as always!!

**oldman3** · 03-22-2015, 10:24 AM

Also a new bridge design with a forward mounted inboard bag setup also the redesigned inner frame stiffener looks like it will allow for more transmission clearance. Looking good Eric

ChuckDriver · 03-22-2015, 10:58 AM

Gonna be one amazing ride!

**superflysteiny** · 03-22-2015, 11:32 AM

All of your observations are correct. This is a new set up that Nate is releasing. You will be able to run cantilever shocks with this set up. The inner trans brace is plated a lot more then the original. One thing I noticed is the frame is a lot heavier and stouter then previous ones I have put together. It's very stiff which is a plus in my eyes

Yep.... But I had already seen all of those. This was a first for the Watt's despite more than one past conversation w/Nate about them (I asked for a frame mounted version w/the links attaching to the housing tubes in one of my 'wish list' discussions).

My thought was the bell crank x-member could be tied into the bracing of the rear frame clip & the axle mounts could be simple 3" dia axle tube brackets that one could bolt-on & then have them welded if desired. Keeps the kit 'more' bolt-in vs having to weld the poular bell crank/truss set-up.
But... Nate is manufacturing for mass & I do it for me

ddubbs · 03-22-2015, 04:41 PM

Wow chassis is looking killer. Really like the watts link setups nate has come out with. Both my 24x15 and blazer kit have that setup. He really has knocked it out of the park on his new kits. As usual the build you are doing is amazing. Would like to see the cantilever shock setup in some pics. Notice you didn't post a pic from the front looking back.

NorCal · 03-22-2015, 04:52 PM

Oh man, that is looking killer!

knomadd · 03-22-2015, 10:27 PM

That looks awesome!!!
