[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 474983, member: 884"] Thanks! I've been getting asked that a lot by friends who say this chassis is identical to the old one up to this point. The old chassis was cut apart several times and changed as I found better ways to do things to make the chassis easier to work on, or stronger/lighter. Also getting the L92 w/ supercharger, and 6L80 was a big change I hadn't planned for, since I typically build around the planned engine going in the chassis (which was a LS1/700r4) It had just gotten to the point where I was wanting to do a few things different on the old chassis, and it just wasn't worth the effort to cut it apart. The belly of this chassis will be 3" shallower, along with a 4" lower ride height. This chassis will have way less tube in it. Also, if the tube isn't at risk of getting hit by a rock or causing structural damage, its .095" or even .065" wall, to help cut weight. When I get to the lower portion of the chassis you will see a ton of major changes [/QUOTE]
