Ionia Hot Rod Shop builds a Y Block Chassis...

A great friend is having this chassis built.

Here are some pictures of the build...

I'll fill in later..

Y Block!!...

 

Kevin...My Friend Kevin is doing a great job!!

 

Motor mount and worth while upper trans. plate...

 

Is this that chassis you were telling me about today?

 

Small parts

 

wow, that is beautiful work.

 

sweeet. you guys are better than me..dammit.

im watching closely though..
nice job on the trans mount, watch the clearance around that top gearbox rib, they can bounce up a fair way on a hard launch, and the bang it makes is scary..mine did that, had to clearance the tunnel a little more.

I gotta gets me a beadblaster soon, things come out lookin nice.

 

Wow! Show us more!

 

I love the way you guys think... and do. Thanks for sharing.

 

So you've got a voice in your head too! Mine's name is Thurman R. Tankley... he tells me to do stuff.

But mine tells me to do baaaaaad stuff.

Yours is telling you to do GOOOD stuff!

 

Wow, inspriational work there... I knew I shouldn't have sold my Y block!

 

Kevin is a friend and a worker here....He's 21 and pretty damn good...he has built this chassis just about by him self with very little input from me or Dennis. He's doing and does one hell of a job!

 

Any chance that those engine and tranny mounts might be something you guys produce to sell? I built a box tube frame with a model a crossmember for my T coupe and am planning on running a 272/292 that I have. Very good looking work.

 

They could be duplicated in the future, just not sure if they would be cost effective.

Thanks for the compliments fella's


Matt

 

Wow! Cool job.

 

Here are more pictures of the y-block chassis, While Kevin was building the y-block chassis, we also built another frame for a B-400...no suspension to speak of, we sat it next to a stock frame to show the differance(sp)

The y-block chassis is for a 5 window going to PA. to get the body work done and living in Florida, they need the help!!...Florida that is...

I can't wait to see what these two cars become!

Looks good man, Terry McG was telling me some about your shop. Sounds like you guys turn out some beautiful stuff.

Sweet!,

Hate to tell ya, but we D.A. most of our stuff.... Sand blasting happens, but we only keep that finish on the inside.

You guys at Ionia are truly fantastic. Your attention to detail is just unbelievable.
