Hot Rods Pete & Jakes Chassis

After 40 + years of building hot rod ch***is for customers all over the USA and a few for myself it was kool to head down to P&J's to pick up a ch***is they had built for me. They accommodated everything I wanted and I ended up with a one of a kind 32 ch***is. Jason and Colton went out of their way to take care of me. The cherry on top was an all stainless custom exhaust built by Jack Dean at J&M Custom Exhaust just around the corner from P&J's shop. Great ending for my last build. Special thanks to all the guys at P&J's. Krylon32/Gary at Cornhusker Rod & Custom

 

I used all of their parts , brackets , etc., when I built my 32 years ago . Recently I purchased new bushings . Just outstanding people to deal with .

 

My Cornhusker ch***is has a lot of P&J parts!

 

I tried to sneak a peak at it the last time I was down but it was getting the exhaust done. I was still tempted to go to the exhaust shop and look lol

 

And....no pictures?

 

Come on Gary! Where are the pictures?

 

Pictures???? It's still in a pile in my shop. Working on getting a different roadster ***embled for sale.

 

Krylon Aint no 'tourist'

I am always awed to have contributions from Krylon's experience.
I would guess that handling the challenges of engineering a ch***is, and the letting it loose
to another party, carries a need of respect for,- and to,- the process.

 

Gary
Just fun'n with ya but we are praying that a nice young couple with a six year old will move in next to you so we can see PICTURES of all your cars.
With you having such a close relationship with Pete and Jakes, I know how it feels to be able to turn a dream into reality as in this day and age there aren't a lot of shop owners that are willing to stray from their "formula" of how a car should be built.
Looking forward to seeing that pile of parts turn into a hot rod.

 

I built that relationship by being a loyal customer since the beginning in CA. Cornhusker produced over 1500 ch***is and I don't think there was one that didn't have some P&J's components used in the construction. Didn't stray as I always tried to use the best and consistent parts available.

 

I used them after lots of research , built and tested by real Hot Rodders .

 

Here are the photo's

 

I used a surrogate.

 

Very nice!

 

Gary, that's a great looking ch***is. Nice they made your vision come to life. Also having made 1500 ch***is, a significant accomplishment, guess you know what you want by now. Can't wait to see what you make with it. And it's wicked cool you have a helper to post pictures. You have a bunch of cool stuff to show off.

 

Too bad you have to cover it with a body!

 

Parallel leaf rear? What's going on with the spring mounts? Am I seeing upper and lower for height adjustments?

Sorry. I'm not super familiar with P&J stuff.

 

Hitch Hiker. The mounts you see are the front end of a parallel 4 bar setup. Their hooked to a buggy spring 9 inch rear. I have the same setup under my deuce 3 window and it works great. This is not P&J's standard deal. The ch***is is going under a Brookville roadster body that has had the p***enger compartment moved back 2.25 inches and the door stretched the same. Will be full fendered. Replicating as much as possible a roadster I built in 1979. Will be Wheatland Yellow with Black Bop Top.

 

Thanks for explaining that!

 

Same rear suspension I have except I used the long triangular bars attached in the center . Reversed the eye on the buggy spring

 

Gary,
Here's one of yours after powder coating. The only car I ever regret selling.
