Chassisworks/Marquez SEMA Camaro Sneak Peek

[Chassisworks]

Hey Everyone!

The engineering and fabrication teams at Chris Alston’s Chassisworks have been working like honey badgers on our latest innovation. And it’s not just us; Marquez Design is in the mix too! Today we finally got a thumbs up to launch a new section on the Chassisworks website. Keep checking back every few days for updates and I will try to post here as well. We will be posting pics of all kinds of cool new components a couple times a week all the way up until SEMA where we will have the display car that shows off even more cool stuff!

So Click Here (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)to read a little teaser and check back soon for some sneak peeks, then come visit us in booth 22989!

Give me a couple days guys. Read what we're up to today, see what we're up to probably tomorrow. :thumbsup:

[214Chevy]

The natives are restless, I see. :rofl: :rofl:

[dirtshark]

Carl, looking forward to the new products you guys are bringing to the table.

[Rick D]

Give me a couple days guys. Read what we're up to today, see what we're up to probably tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Come on Carl give us something more than that :unibrow: We want the pictures NOW!!!! we don't like to be keeped waiting! :cool: J/K :thumbsup: Just want to see what you guys are bringing to the table!

[Chassisworks]

I'll have some more info and some pics up tomorrow. This is going to be one of those little by little things. I handle other things aside from the interwebs.

Besides, a little delayed gratification is good for everyone. :yes:

[Ron in SoCal]

Great idea partnering w Pacqual! Execution? Fail...

[FETorino]

Come on Carl give us something more than that :unibrow: We want the pictures NOW!!!! we don't like to be keeped waiting! :cool: J/K :thumbsup: Just want to see what you guys are bringing to the table!

Rumor is they are doing a first gen Camaro PT style.

[Rick D]

Rumor is they are doing a first gen Camaro PT style.

REALLY!!! That is so off the wall!! :lol:

Sorry for the high jack Carl!! But I guess here it is a sign of affection! :thumbsup: now if only Dave and Greg show up then you will be in :lol:

[FreddieCougar]

Carl's just a big tease.
I have seen the car, I know it exists....

[Chassisworks]

Okay, the first new component to be released is something that has been floating around for a little while but never made it into production until now. CLICK HERE (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)and scroll down to see our Billet Gun Drilled Anti-Roll Bar. You can download the PDF Data Sheet (http://www.cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/5735-SMXX-12588_DS_WEB.pdf)for specs and more details. A couple of these left the building during the prototype stage, now they’re on the shelf and ready to go!

This front bar will bolt to the Chassisworks Street Machine front clips. It’s not just a Camaro piece; it’s also available for the Chevy II clips. For the guys who already have one of our clips, you can retro-fit this bar as adapters are available. It will work with both the Street Machine and the gMachine a-arms.

One benefit to this bar that’s not mentioned in the data sheet is that with it being mounted up front you gain a lot more clearance for the sump on the pan.

So there’s the first piece, I should have something more for you animals on Friday. Friday is going to be cool.

[coolwelder62]

I think that style of sway bar's already be done frt. & rear.

[Bowtieracing]

Cant wait to see more. :cool:

[MoparCar]

You know what would be really new, groundbreaking and big----maybe a nice new modern bolt on Mopar front K-member/suspension instead of another Camaro/Chevy II product. ;) I know, I know---where's the market.......

J/K- but it's not too late to wish.

[Chassisworks]

I’m a bit late on this one after a hectic day so I apologize if this is a bit short on details. Today’s SEMA Sneek Peek (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html) component release is our Varishock Quickset 4 Remote Reservoir coil-over. I will hereafter call it the Q4R as it’s a lot easier to say. CLICK HERE (https://www.cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/VAS_11411-XX_DS_WEB.pdf) for the data sheet.

The Q4R is four way adjustable. High and low speed compression damping can be adjusted from the reservoir while high and low speed extension are adjusted on the base of the shock body. There are currently five travel lengths available that match our existing single and double adjustable bodies. The Q4R is available with bearing eye style mounts only. We have two different reservoir mounts, one that mounts to a flat surface and the other will mount to a 1-5/8" tube.

I hope everybody has a great weekend, I'll be back to answer questions and read comments on Monday.

[Jr]

Is the front end build with one off parts? Did chassis works redesign the front sub to get a 305/19 to work?

[manny z]

Not sure if you get this question much but, I am going to throw it out there.

In now way am I trying to sling any crap but, why are you guys spending all this time and effort on a car that has had sooooo many aftermarket manufactures build just about anything you can think of, and then some for it?

I know some people here will say because there so many people building camaros, there is going to be a high demand for hotrod parts. So why offer another match for the fire? When it is going pretty good?

You guys also have the ford area pretty covered as well with the total control parts. You have taken it a little further then I am sure Terry would of been able to.

Yes I am very partial to Mopars, so I am going to throw it out there. Why never any Mopar parts? I am sure that if you guys were to offer them, you would get much interest in them. With your history, I am sure there would be no question if anything you guys were to offer to the Mopar world, would work well.

Like how about a 3 bar rear suspension with a watts link.
A triagulated rear suspension system.
A new front suspension sytem that works well, and not priced for peope with bottomless pits for pockets.
A coilover conversion that would work with the facory K member, that does not put the coilover on the inner fender like some aftermarket guys.:willy:

Torsion type sway bars, etc...

Well I have had my say. I personally dont really like what is out there right now for Mopars, except for one place. That is why I am eventually going to have to design and build my own.

Manny, I bolded one of the key reasons that we are building more Camaro parts. Despite what personal feelings some people have, the first gen Camaro is one of the most popular cars of all time. It makes sense to use it as a showcase platform for new components.

On the Mopar thing; we just don't get much request for it. We never have. In my personal experience the average Mopar guy wants his car much more stock than the average Ford or Chevy guy. There's also not as much parity from vehicle to vehicle so certain components aren't as interchangeable. That drives up production and retail costs.

That said, about a month ago I sold a full pro-touring style chassis to a guy building a 69 Charger. He had our canted billet 4-bar out back, the g-machine a-arms up front with the big sway bar and 14" Wilwoods all the way around.

It just comes down to how much work you're willing to do.

[FreddieCougar]

I have to chime in on this one...During my time at Chassisworks I did lobby for Mopar parts after looking at what was out there, and knowing that we could do better, but it comes down to ROI. I would have to say that I did get asked for the parts, but it was honestly something like 1 Mopar question for every 75-100 Camaro questions. Smaller manufacturers who build parts by hand are usually better equipped to take care of Dodge products. Economy of scale rules the day...
Tim

[MoparCar]

I understand the ratio of Mopar to GM but....how many GM component/suspension builders are there to choose from? That really divides market share between everyone also. Chassisworks, DSE, AME, Roadster Shop, Speedtech, Heidts, TCI, JRS, Scott Mock, Ridetech (sort of/not full clip), etc., the list goes on and on if you want.

Mopar we have:
RMS based on older MII spindle design and a standard non splined sway bar with stock UCA mounts, Magnum Force (poor design) with the weight on the shock towers, XV Motorsports-expensive and a very high ride height with bad customer service.

Anyone stepping up? I do hear rumors of one major that may be heading towards Mopars but not for sale yet.

So you've got to understand the frustration. I really don't agree with the Mopars are restoration only crowd. There are a lot of both drag racers and road racers/pro tour guys cutting up their cars. Many many mopars have been chopped up for the 1/4 mile. Yes, Mopar produced some very rare cars that are worthy of nut/bolt/paint splotch restorations to the fullest degree but a lot of us are starting with basic shells and sure would like some other options.

I'm highly considering DSEs universal front clip to modify and build into my cars stock rails or custom rails. Yes it can be done but it sure would be easier to unbolt the K-member and bolt in a new one!

Just a comparison, not a rant :D :thumbsup: Bring on the good stuff for us! Please!

[clill]

I thought Hotchkis had a Mopar that hauled ass on the track.

[MoparCar]

Yep they do! But stock based. Sort of like taking your stock GM and upgrading the parts. That said they do an excellent job at that but some of us want rack steering, etc. if I wanted a stock based system I would look no further! They are great for that aspect and they have great support but I'm looking for a step or two up from that.

[FETorino]

So just Have RS build you a whole chassis. That would be a couple steps up.

[Vegas69]

That Hotchkis Mopar is stout. I'd be surprised to see RS outgun it on a reasonably sized autocross.

And for a Pro tour car that is the only determining factor in suspension choice.:rofl:

I do agree that yellow Challenger is awesome, I think that is the car you are talking about.:D

[Vegas69]

I've never driven either so I'll hold my tongue. :D

[FETorino]

I've never driven either so I'll hold my tongue. :D

Some of it may have nothing to do with how it drives. Sort of like tens of thousands on body mods and paint. :D

I hear ya. Once you get done making the same mistake I did, let's talk. :lol:

WesWes,I would love to Build some suspension product's for mopar's.I have had only had 1 customer ask for something for a Mopar.But then said my quoted price of $1650.00 for a bare C-6 weld in clip was to pricey.???????.

[GrabberGT]

Sounds like a heck of a deal to me. Thats on par with any Mustang II based system. but better. Just omit the part about it being based on the C6 platform. :_paranoid

Such is the state of building something different. You should try a Maverick build. Lots of parts out there for the Mustang that are only about a dozen 1/4" cut and splices away from fitting. Might as well just start from scratch. Thats hot rodding though. I know a Mav owner who is in the process of building an entire front clip just to NOT have to modify the the high dollar, bolt in, Mustang k-member suspension he bought.

If it makes you feel better, think of it this way. All the other guys are cheating. :unibrow:

[Chassisworks]

Our new Camaro system SEMA rollout (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html) continues today with updates to the CDS Supercharger and Accessory Drives (http://www.cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/CDS_DS_WEB.pdf). The accessory drive can run dual fuel pumps and they can be clocked at different angles for additional clearance.

These are currently running on some of the fastest centrifugal supercharged cars in the country. Each one has been custom built by Chris Alston Jr after a consultation with the customer.

And we have them for Mopars.

[Amituk]

Wow

Now those look special.

Would love to use something like that on nighthawk but they look pricey!

Amit

[GrabberGT]

Thanks!

Single drives start at $2900. More info can be found HERE (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_CDS-supercharger-drive.html). Call and ask for Chris Jr to discuss your specific needs.

And I guess that excludes the charger..

And I guess that excludes the charger..

There's a reason this movement isn't called Free-Touring. We're a Vortech dealer but we have drives for most popular blowers. We can also custom build one.

Hey now...... if you guys dont watch it, we will start having our hubs cast out of Nodular Iron :rofl:

Beautiful stuff though Carl :thumbsup:

Jay,

I didnt say your gear wasnt worth every penny ;) hence I bought it :D

Beautiful stuff though Carl :thumbsup:

Thanks, I had the guy who does the photos resize THIS (https://www.cachassisworks.com/site_images/CDS/CDS_acc-drive/CDS_acc-drive_assembled_STR.jpg)picture and made it my desktop background.

Will this fit a stock frame Camaro? I like the bracket and have a F1R I'm in need of a bracket for too.... And I'm local!! I volunteer my car for "test fits into an LS".... Just here to help guys!!

It will fit in a stock frame but not with a stock radiator. Sorry but the test fitting is already out of the way. I think we have six first gen Camaro shells floating around here right now plus two runners.

[Chassisworks]

There are only a few times that a car guy doesn’t mind staying late at work. For me, this is one of those times. Up until today we’ve been teasing you by posting parts that are pretty cool. From here on out, I’ll be posting the really trick parts. Not just trick, but parts that have features you haven’t seen on anything other than maybe a one-off, fully custom car. Tonight I get to post the first of what Chris calls ‘magic’ parts. These are the parts that make me love my job and get me excited!

Here's a first look at our new billet aluminum spindle and bump-steer kit. CLICK HERE (http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)to go to the new products intro page and read a little more detail. Click on any of the pictures on the website for a super high resolution image. I’ll post two tiny pictures below.

Stay tuned, next week I'll post information on the 14" and 15" Wilwood and Baer brake kits that are available for this spindle.

Chris,
What applications does this upright fit? Does it fit multiple front suspensions? It has bolted on parts, so that makes me think multiple applications. Could I perhaps use this with my TCP front suspension to use Corvette brake packages? Mount the TCP UCA upside down to make clarence for rims wider than 8" ? :unibrow: I was about to order an Aussie made drop spindle to do this, but if this can be used on my Mustang for the same result, I'm like :wow: Been looking all over the interwebs for a spindle/upright like this.

[MoparCar]

fvike-
This does really look like a great spindle. If Chassisworks says this won't work, take a look at Cortex Racing/Engineering. They have a very high tech spindle, bearing pack set up also that is supposed to fit many applications if the Chassisworks does not.

[Jr]

It will fit in a stock frame but not with a stock radiator. Sorry but the test fitting is already out of the way. I think we have six first gen Camaro shells floating around here right now plus two runners.

Which radiator will work?

I've had a look at the CorteX racing spindle, but at $3.250, you're halfway to a complete new DSE Aluma-Frame front suspension. It's just to expencive for a pair of uprights. Hell, LG Motorsports sells a kit of four C6 drop spindles for $2.995.
Edit: CorteX spindles are $2.995/pair for street version.
(Sorry for the tread takeover)

very nice guys!

I will be coming by at SEMA to see everything in person!

I'm Carl, Chris is just the guy with his name on the building....and my paycheck.

This spindle fits all Chassisworks gMachine front suspension systems (http://cachassisworks.com/cac_library.html) so it will work with our bolt-in Camaro and Nova subframe clips and our a-arm crossmember. The crossmembers are available in multiple widths with components to match and maintain the geometry. For instance, I have customers who have put them in Mustangs, Mavericks, Tri-5s, 50 Merc, 69 Charger and more. Those are the people who I can remember off the top of my head, there are tons more. You could put it in almost anything with a little bit a fab skill. Chip Foose has used them on at least one car and there was a tricked out Ford econoline pickup that used one.

I will be going posting the brake packages that are available a couple days into next week.

Which radiator will work?
The CDS front mount supercharger drive (http://cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/CDS_DS_WEB.pdf) would require running dual radiators on a stock Camaro. There will be a rear/side mount version available sometime next year.


very nice guys!
I will be coming by at SEMA to see everything in person!
Jason
Thanks Jason! Everyone has been working very hard. I think I will be there this year and I look forward to meeting you. If I don't make it, Chris Sr and Jr will be there as well as Steve Collins - the guy who...well I'm not allowed to talk about what he is working on yet.

[preston]

Will you guys be posting full dimensional data on those uprights ? What kind of prices ?

I can understand if you aren't interested in releasing the data, but that's what I would need to consider using them in custom applications.

Hi Preston, there will be a product data sheet released on Wednesday that will have more specs. I'm not sure if it will have pricing or not at this time although I can say that they will be extremely competitive.

Time for a brake components update!

http://www.cachassisworks.com/site_images/83XX/8378/8378_nickle_id.jpghttp://www.cachassisworks.com/site_images/83XX/8378/8378_rotor-hat-caliper-rear_view2_id.jpg

The new gStreet billet aluminum spindle is available with 14” and 15” rotors! Think about that for a second. The 15” rotor might have a larger diameter than your car’s factory wheel. For size comparison we grabbed a large pizza box and tried to fit the rotor inside. No dice -the rotor is bigger. The new gStreet billet upright not only has a larger unit-type bearing and a trick bump-steer adjuster; it has massive brakes!

https://www.cachassisworks.com/site_images/83XX/8378/8378_pizza_ID.jpg

In addition to the new rotors we’ve added additional caliper options. You can now get Wilwood’s W6A six piston caliper in a nickel finish with ThermLock pistons and three different pad compounds. ThermLock blocks heat transfer from the pads into the pistons and significantly reduces the temperature of the fluid and caliper seals.

Also, we now offer a Baer caliper option- the 6S caliper. It’s available in black, red or silver and will work with the 14” or 15” rotor.

[Chassisworks]

In the pursuit of more interior space, chassis rigidity and improved safety we are introducing a redesigned roll bar and a roll cage. They both come standard with a removable back brace and have many more available options. We offer two door bars, two cage-side bend profiles and three styles of hardware from racy to bling.

If you are building a custom dash we have an option to run the cage through the dash. If you have stock interior the cage can be run in front of the dash and will tuck in further forward to make it easier to get in and out of the car. The roll cage is also available in SCCA compliant DOM tubing.

Carl,

Concerning your roll bar, for 67 camaro.

Your sneek peak link goes to the data sheet. Do you have any pictures of the roll bar installed? Do you have a car at your shop that I can look at (I live fairly close).

Hi Mike, there aren't more pictures that I can publish beyond what is in the data sheet. Give me a call at 916-388-0288 ext 247 and we can talk a little bit. I can't put some information into type until SEMA.

[Chassisworks]

Is the front end build with one off parts? Did chassis works redesign the front sub to get a 305/19 to work?

I was just rereading through this thread and noticed this comment. Sorry I missed it before.

The frame is different than our standard front clip and will clear the 305. The wheels and tires are on it right now. Yes, it looks awesome.

[Amituk]

Anymore cool stuff still to come?

[Chassisworks]

Anymore cool stuff still to come?

There is a lot more 'cool stuff' to come. Watch this space and the Chassisworks website. I may be posting something later this afternoon, early tomorrow morning at the latest. Read between the lines and you might notice part of the car is left out...

[Chassisworks]

Starting today we will be introducing some new components for the high-power, big tire, pro-touring machine that will help your car hook up and shoot off the corner. Our 4x2 Canted 4-link Rear Frame System is a B-pillar back system that will allow the car to sit super low while still maintaining a safe amount of suspension travel. Our SEMA display ‘69 is about 4” off the ground at the rocker and tucks a lot of rear wheel.

One of the goals in designing this system was to have something that the average builder wouldn’t be scared to work with. Installation is straight forward and does not require a chassis table or frame fixture. Both Chris and Pascual maintain that it’s less complicated than installing a pair of mini tubs. Part of what makes it so easy is that the main rear frame section ships from the Chassisworks factory fully welded to the maximum narrowed width with all the suspension pickups installed. You don’t have to do any complicated measuring or engineering; it’s already been done for you.

Over the next few days I will post more information about other components. Check out a bigger version of the picture below at the Sneak Peek page (http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)and click on the PDF (http://www.cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/CamaroRearFrame_DS_WEB.pdf)to see more angles and read more technical data. These data sheets have a ton of information and sometimes you can see something that I haven’t talked about yet.

There were a couple teeny tiny updates today. Something about a trick new floor, lowered seat mounts, rocker panels, transmission tunnel, wheel tubs, gas tank, etc. You know, stuff that comes in handy when you need to get the car to handle, sit low, be rigid, etc. You can CLICK HERE (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)to check out pictures on our site and download details on the various new data sheets.

And by the way, just because SEMA is next week doesn’t mean we’re going to stop posting up new parts. We have a phenomenal number of new parts that aren’t quite ready for the public that we are really excited about. Keep checking back.

But who cares about that? Check out my new desktop background! Warning, may be NSFW, haha!

Something about a trick new floor, lowered seat mounts, rocker panels, transmission tunnel, wheel tubs, gas tank, etc. You know, stuff that comes in handy when you need to get the car to handle, sit low, be rigid, etc. You can CLICK HERE (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)to check out pictures on our site and download details on the various new data sheets.

And by the way, just because SEMA is next week doesn’t mean we’re going to stop posting up new parts. We have a phenomenal number of new parts that aren’t quite ready for the public that we are really excited about. Keep checking back.

But who cares about that? Check out my new desktop background! Warning, may be NSFW, haha!

Are you guys doing installs on your new cages at your shop?

Are you guys doing installs on your new cages at your shop?

At this time we are not. We have been contemplating getting back into building cars after ten years as solely a manufacturer. Ask me again in a few weeks/once the SEMA afterglow wears off a bit.

The car is in the booth and the sign is spinning. It's SEMA time!

There were a couple more new pieces posted today on the Sneak Peek page (https://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html). I'm flying out in the morning so check back later for a full data sheet. Here's the crib notes.
- Makes a ZR-1 bearing look like it came off a Hot Wheels.
- Options for 5 on 4-3/4" or 4-1/2" bolt circles.
- Thicker, wider flange.
- Axles available in 31 or 35 splines.
- 35 spline axles also available gun drilled and crowned for cambered housings.
- Extremely Compact.
- Available with 14" or 15" rotors and Wilwood or Baer calipers.
- Internal parking brake option with scalloped drum.

When will the final pics be put up?

Carl,

Thanks for taking the time to show me all the new product. Very impressive. I think it's going to be a big hit.

When will the final pics be put up?
We took pictures before it left the factory. I think they're going up on our site next week. There are a couple pics on facebook that I've found. I'm positive it will show up in the picture threads here as well. Someone came by and took some video too. EDIT: It looks like it's the banner page on Chevy High Performance's FB page right now. :)

Carl,

Great to meet you too and thanks for the compliment. It has been hard to post only snippets up until now. There are still more pieces to come too. No one has had anything negative to say and it's been great to actually talk in depth with people about specific features.

Chris Sr is having fun showing his buddies his newest toys, like Bill Wood (Wilwood) and Art Morrison, while Steve and Scott, the guys who put it all together are getting some much deserved attention after way too much overtime.

Well, SEMA has come and gone and we had the chance to talk with some great people. There were amazing cars everywhere I looked; the only bad thing was we were so busy I didn't get to walk around more than three hours all week. The response to our new parts was overwhelming and we are really excited to see what our customers will do with this system. Hopefully we will have a chance to sit down in the next couple weeks and go over some of the comments, suggestions, and general feedback that we received last week. Some people kept coming back again and again. If anyone was at SEMA and didn't get a chance to get their question answered, please feel free to post it here.

Okay, enough gushing about how much fun I had. The Sneak Peek Page (http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_press_67-69Camaro.html)has been updated with a bunch of new pictures and a couple new data sheets. For instance, there is now a lot more detail on the Chassisworks Floater (http://www.cachassisworks.com/Attachments/DataSheets/CamaroFloater_DS_WEB.pdf)housing ends.

Keep an eye on this thread, there are still more related components on the way.

For those who didn't get to go here's a couple big photos of the car before it got loaded on the truck to SEMA. No, the plate is not photoshopped.

Chad from Bangshift stopped by the booth and snapped some pics of our Camaro system. He caught me goofing off a bit and decided that the car and I make a good couple. Now if only I could convince the boss of that... Anyway, CLICK HERE (http://bangshift.com/blog/chassisworks-is-debuting-new-camaro-project-products-and-more-each-week-til-sema.html)for Bangshift images and info.

Here's a few more pics. These show the floor kit pieces, the Marquez headliner and how tight our Exact-Fit cage or roll bar fits. If you need bigger versions, they're on our page.

When will the pricing be finalized on all the items? Are the floaters and spindle/uprights in production or only development?
