Projects Progess on Big Tony's Chassis

Had a small break on the 32 project so I figured I would get Tonys rail in the jig and get the perimeter knocked out. I got it all boxed and this weekend got the rear crossmember made, and installed the front, center, and rear crossmembers,

Gonna pick up the rearend from Tony tomorrow and start getting the rearend set up for a buggy spring and some shop built ladder bars

Rusty

 

Awesome Rusty...who makes the X-member?

 

The last ones for now

 

Thanks for the compliment, that is a Ch***is Engineering crossmember

 

Saw it myself saturday and it is sweet !

 

Pretty welds. Thats an art form in itself.

 

Looking good Rusty!

I can't even dream of welds that nice and good...I can't say enough about Rusty's knowledge and skills

Rusty

 

Your welds are sweet! Nice job.

 

I feel your pain about the heat, it has been freaking hot lately! I have had to fire up 26 fans to try & keep it workable too.

The frame looks great Rusty, it looks like you & your tig welder are best friends now-nice work!!

Finally got some updates shots,

Narrowed the rearend housing, made the ladder bars, all the rearend brackets, got the rear spring hangers on, motor mounts in, and the modifications to allow the 700r4 to fit in the ch***is engineering center x done.

Rear spring hangers



Clearance issues with the 700r4

Wish I had a girlfriend as purty as those welds!! "T" is for Tejas!! Cool stuff bro!! ~Sololobo~

 

Hope you're using some heavy duty springs on that buggy, Tony's not just a little feller ya know .
Looking good there buddy, keep it up.
Did I miss the mill portion?, what motor are you going to use? and what gears in that rear end?

 

thanks alot bud, Rusty

 

Gary your just jealouos cause i'm a full-figured guy The motor is a stand by sbc. The rear is a 9 inch with 3.73 gears which i think will work well with the 700r ******..

Man...what a day, finally p***ed my state algebra exam for my education cl*** and Rusty text me to say updates are up...

Special Thanks to Rusty and anyone wanting ch***is work done you owe it to yourself to work with him... I promise he will treat you more than fair and his quality of work speaks for itself

 

Thanks Tony
