Nice looking chassis -- but I have to ask -- why not use the SRIII chassis which can't be very far from you??

Looks like a SRIII chassis, says a custom SRIII chassis in the OP's opining post....

You're so right -- I missed that because I didn't go back to the beginning.

Sorry I should have said SRIII in my post instead of Mike, Mike Stockdale built my torque tube for my project, true gentlemen to deal with.........

We will agree, Mike at SRIII is a stand-up guy! Builds a very nice chassis as well.

We saw three Corvettes go through Barrett Jackson with the SRII chassis under them.

I'm doing a '60 on Mike's chassis.

Looks like a great project and moving ahead at full speed.

Bet you guys are done before me. :rofl:
