[Sieg]

Nice trans cross-member! 1/2" stock?

[coolwelder62]

Nice trans cross-member! 1/2" stock?1/2x2.5 cold roll bar.I still need to gusset the bends with alittle bracing.

[firstgencam]

The 335 on the front is sick! I guess I know now that my next project will have a 335 on the front and 345 on the back or I will not be able to sleep at night! Thanks a lot Scott, always put the pressure on.... HAHA

[firstgencam]

Who makes the AC vents you have in the dash??? They look cool...

[coolwelder62]

Im another guy with front tire envy :D ! Everywhere you look there is something trick to see. :thumbsup: Fantastic build Scott!!!Thank's Karl.It's a simple project, nuttin like BA Blu-Blaz.The reason for 335's up front is I just want it to turn in.:thumbsup:

[settintrendz]

Love it man! Looks killer!

[cashed]

Awesome build! 335 fronts, unreal.

[coolwelder62]

Love it man! Looks killer!Thank's I am just getting started so I have a little work to do.

Awesome build! 335 fronts, unreal.Thank's, I have been working on a (335) sub frame for a 1st gen F-body for about a year now.It took a little work to make it work in A-Body.Getting the super narrowed frame rails,header's,steering shaft,rack placement,oil pan clearance to all work togather was really tough( My new CNC plasma table was a big help).But it turns lock to lock,go's thur the suspension travel pretty well.Some iner fender panel work is still needed.I won't be doing any long drive's with 335's up front.Will be using a 9.5-10" wheel for the Run to the Coast next year..Then when it's track time throw on the 335's.:thumbsup:

Alot of thing's are just tacked welded during the mock up part of the build.Once I am sure everything is going to work togather I will finish welding. Frt. and rear sway bar's showed up today.

[BBC71Nova]

Looking good Scott!

Did you build or buy those shock mockups? I just picked up a swedged tube set last week from Speedway but your setup is a lot more adjustable.

I was joking awhile back about grafting an aftermarket F-body clip in a Chevelle...guess that's in the history books now! Waaay cool.

Good Stuff Scotty :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Good Stuff Scotty :thumbsup:Thank's,It's coming along pretty good.Sooner or later will come the time I have to start grinding and cleaning the buttom side of the floor pan.Since the cars already painted don't want to sandblast it.I need sonar chief to come help me with the prepping part.He does such an awesome job of it. The chassis will get sandblasted at the powder coater.There's a guy here that does blasting,but he said he had a 4-6 week back log.So I just desided to grind the chassis where I need it.

Nice work on the exhaust!

[eric1967]

Scott what did you do in the rear? It looks like it is still a tranglated 4 bar. Did you have to move the mounting points in? This thing is killer. Thanks Eric

[coolwelder62]

Scott what did you do in the rear? It looks like it is still a tranglated 4 bar. Did you have to move the mounting points in? This thing is killer. Thanks EricI used the stock pickup point's on the chassis.The upper's on the moser 9" floater are some I plasma cut,& the housing lower's are from the good folk's @ Ridetech.I used the ridetech lower's because w/the floater & ZO6 caliper's, I had to move them in slightly.So using a rubber or poly bushing would have put the lower's in a bind. So I just Opped to use ridetech's Rod end kit.They may make alittle noise but with the Borla XR1's and Supercharger whine,I May not here them.I will get real good photo's during the reassem.:thumbsup:

[Sonar Chief]

[coolwelder62]

You're welcome! I love seeing installation pics. Your diff Vent will be there mid-week. Thanks for posting!I was going to build my own fuel & diff vent's(Then I saw these).It would have taken me a whole day of cuttin,fabbin,weldin,and probably $120.00 in material's and then $100.00 @ the adodizor.So I think these are a great deal for what you get.Plus they look really cool.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Steve68]

Nice pics Scott,



JP makes some nice stuff, and a diff vent too, I'll be getting those too, someday soon,

Holy begeezzus do you have a press brake that can bend those arms or did you actually farm out a part to be worked on?


The accusump mount looks good. Where will it be mounted?

[coolwelder62]

I had some one ask me why is everything just tack welded. As I'm building I like to fit everything.Plus I alway's change my mind or get a new Idea.This way it is easy to go back and move thing's around.When I disasssem. it I will take it over to the bench and tig weld everything.

[eric1967]

The bars look great Scott. There should be a lot of adjustment that will come in handy on those tight Good Guys autocross tracks. Thanks for posting Eric

[coolwelder62]

Thanks for posting EricYea,I built the rear bar so I soften or stiffen very qickly. And the frt is as easy as loosening 2-3/8" bolt's and it will slide right out,and pop in a new bar.

Who makes that sway bar bushing mount? I don't recognize the logo, is it hotchkis?Those are hotchkis items.Around $125.00 pr.Stronger,an Look way better than stamped steel pcs.Plus last year I had a chance to meet John Hotchkis super cool dude.:thumbsup:

When I have odd shaped pieces like this with lots of sharp edges etc --- I run 'em thru the bead blaster... with the right grit - it will take out scratches and dulls the sharps right off there!
Then the part is ready for some etching primer... :woot:

Then the part is ready for some etching primer... :woot:Greg,I was going to DA them first then glass bead them.I built this part over lunch the other day.I told Dan Holohan I would do something real quick to show his tru-oval punch's.Hoping to get some time over the next few month's to finish up and prep everything before it go's off to paint and powder coat.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[WSSix]

OK, I gotta know how the sway bar in the rear adjusts? I know by moving the end link but does it get tighter by having the end link back closer to the bar and looser as it moves away? The reason it works this way is because the bar can't twist as much with the end link closer in? Am I close?

[coolwelder62]

The reason it works this way is because the bar can't twist as much with the end link closer in? Am I close?The longer the side arm the more leverage it has to twist the sway bar(That makes for a softer bar) .The shorter the arm the less leverage it has.(That makes for stiffer bar).The more ajustable the car is the easier it is to sort out.Soft rear bar tight car.Stiff rear bar loose car.So you are right.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[WSSix]

Cool. Thanks Scott.

Well,I couldn't sleep last night so went to the shop I fabbed up a Trailer Hitch for the chevelle.The hitch will come off w/just 6 bolt's.Or I can remove the ball-mount W/a 1/2" pit-pin.http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/bmock5/hitch004.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/bmock5/hitch002.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/bmock5/hitch003.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/bmock5/hitch008.jpghttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/bmock5/hitch007.jpgNow I am sleepy time for a nap.

I like that design. How much or what do you plan to pull with that?

[coolwelder62]

I like that design. How much or what do you plan to pull with that?Going to build a little alum. trailer 4'wide x5' long out of 3x3x1/4 alum angle,single 2000#axle.It will have 2 Alum. tool box's 24'w x60"L x18" h.That way I can haul our Tool's,Jack,jack stand's,Cooler,nitorgen bottle,EZ-up,Folding Chair's,Spare set of race slick's for GG's auto cross.And of course the most important thing of all(BAR-B-Q GRILL).

TravisWell,I have busy building sub frame's.Shipped #44 yesterday.My reg. welding shop work has picked up some too.I haven't had too much time to work on the chevelle.I did order a Ride Tech Tiger cage for it.As soon as I get some time I will post up some photos of the progress.:thumbsup:

Congrats on the success of the subframes. But really? #44? Between you and the dozen other people making camaro subframes, you'd think the market would dry up. I guess Im just amazed at how many of these things are being built. :willy:

[Che70velle]

How much room do you have between your rear tire, and your frame? I have been wondering how close I can get before it rubs while articulating. Excellent fab work!

[Rick D]

Scott so is the front clip going to be another new offering fron Chubbys Fab??? I would think that once you get it out there "they will come" :yes: I know if I had or get an A body this is something I would want??? Just something to think about which I'm sure you have already! Again great work, but that's what we've come to expect from you :cheers:

It looks like you got rid of the body mount that is typically right behind the rear tire? I just notched my frame, and it doesn't seem like the tire would come in contact with it, but maybe it did for you?

[dug]

what size are those speedo and tach gauges? 5"? and what sizes are the other gauges? Super badass build, keep at it:hail:

[coolwelder62]

How much room do you have between your rear tire, and your frame? I have been wondering how close I can get before it rubs while articulating. Excellent fab work!About .750" between tire and frame.Thanks :thumbsup:

You two old farts are doing great work on your respective cars :D

Scott, I recommend GA or eastern TN for relocation. I'm 1000% biased though. North Texas isn't bad either. It's just too flat for me and they still have lots of wind. TN has no state income tax :yes: That's a big deal for me

In the meantime, keep up the great work on the Chevelle. I love it!

[coolwelder62]

[HEEP]

What size of tubing are you using on the exhaust? Looks like about 4". That setup looks really good on the rear frame section. Are you pleased with the ABC setup?

By the way, loving this car. I've been following along seeing the little things you have added. I especially like the way you are making everything adjustable with the pins.

[gearheads78]

Very nice fab work.

[Payton King]

Did you have Moser turn your center registar and cap down to 2.78? If not it is at 3.06 which is a Ford center registar. Just a heads up...been there and done that.

How do you like my jounce bumpers Scott?? lol, Tony took them off my car to get you a set quicker :lol: Still need to get my replacements.

Amazing how similar our chassis look out back. I too am perplexed on mounting the rear Ridetech canisters. I considered the trunk drain holes, but I'm concerned about the proximity of the exhaust tubing, kinda goes right under there. The wrap will help for sure :thumbsup:
I'm thinking about mounting them up on the rear frame rails under the car. Should be safe there.

Do you have a notched fuel tank or did you squeeze the pipe thru?
Looks pretty awesome.

[frojoe]

Just curious what the reasoning is for adjustable (particularly with quick-pins) bump stops? Is it so that no matter what ride height setting the coilovers are mounted at, the coilovers never end up being the bumpstop at full compression?

Nice work!

This one is great, I just wish I could stuff 275 on the front of my 64 Chevelle.:thumbsup:I can build this clip as a weld in unit only.If you want a complete chassis,Rodger @Ironwork's build's those.I don't want to step on his toe's.Later on this spring I am going to build a jig to do the weld in clip's.They will run about $4500.00 shipped w/a splined sway bar,bent sway bar arm's,end link kit,hardware kit,Ride tech coil over's,dropped steering arm's,and Instruction's & temp holding jig.It will use std C-6 componet's,and DSE Or fox bodied rack.:thankyou:

[JB64CHEVELLE]

That's very tempting. I have the DSE speed kit 3 now but would love to get a good size tire up front. Keep us posted on the weld in kit and I will keep :G-Dub: on it!

[dave96dcm]

Forgive me if it was already mentioned but what will you be running for static caster and camber?

[coolwelder62]

Forgive me if it was already mentioned but what will you be running for static caster and camber?The camber will be set at 1degree neg.caster 5.5-6degrees.The upper A-arm bolt's are not tight in these photo's.

[dave96dcm]

:thumbsup: Sounds good. I like more camber than that on the track but it eats tires on the street. Good caster numbers.

[srh3trinity]

THat right there is why you've sold 50 sub frames and have probably only scratched the surface on the total you'll end up building.:thumbsup:

I can build this clip as a weld in unit only.If you want a complete chassis,Rodger @Ironwork's build's those.I don't want to step on his toe's.Later on this spring I am going to build a jig to do the weld in clip's.They will run about $4500.00 shipped w/a splined sway bar,bent sway bar arm's,end link kit,hardware kit,Ride tech coil over's,dropped steering arm's,and Instruction's & temp holding jig.It will use std C-6 componet's,and DSE Or fox bodied rack.:thankyou:
