Very sexy
Hows visibility with the seats so low?

Looks like will's shop, I see those golden phoenix skins hanging in the background

Yep, this is at Will new shop (rightside performance). Plans to make this one a roller before I take it back to my shop for finish work.

Chassis width?

It's bangin, fo sho.

What a go fast you are! It will be a good lookin ride good for the head 52x cheerleader.

The new chassis looks pretty hot dude, not gonna lie. Once its a roller lets just throw it out in the shop in Deep Gap so you don't have to drive back to Charlotte all the time to work on it.

Don't worry Stretch. There's still a spot in the trailer for you, too. But you might have to spoon someone to keep warm.

As long as Kirby doesn't mind sharing his nigrawafers I think the peasants will survive.

People wanted to swing from stretchs nuts but they hadnt dropped yet.

i like this chassis more everytime i look at it

I know where a nice 08 all aluminum 5.3 is for a good price, with all the acc. Pm me and I'll hook you up if interested.

Looking good !!

Crappy pics...real camera tomorrow...

Full bumpish...





The links are as short as they go and the brackets on this axle aren't in the right spot...it doesn't really hang out that far in the back...





By the time you make chassis side lower link mounts that aren't bent up and cracking at the end of the season it seems like you have to use about 20 lbs of plate. We'll try these guys out and see how they hold up. Stan the man at Branik Motorsports whittled these guys out for me. (Yeah yeah, there's a Bridgeport in the background...it needs a bit more work to be operational...:flipoff2

Couple mild gussets off the back side and let 'em ride...

tons of uptravel potential and i love the lower link mounts, i think they will work fine :****: nice!

Why are you going with a 5.3? Sell yours and get something you can talk about. Buddy of mine just picked up a caddy 6.0 complete except alt for under $1000.

Motors unbolt pretty easy. I think he's on the hunt for something different.

Sick lower link mounts ! Thats a sweet looking ride Sam ! Get back to work , talk about under the wire !

Will be watching this one. Will you do some badass work. Keep this pics coming. Can't wait to see you giving it hell Sam.
