Default Chassis is finished...what do you guys think?

The driveshaft is being painted and I'm still undecided on brakes, but I think the chassis is pretty much finished.

OK, build sheet.

LS1 out of '03 Vette with 19,000 miles
LS6 heads
Mugnuson supercharger with 3.1 pulley and 90mm inlet and TB
Lingenfelter cam 337/207 341/220
SS Hooker sidepipes modified to fit LS6 heads
Hoping for 500 RWHP

Street and Performance AC brackets

Z06 clutch
T56 Tranny out of '01 TA


18"X12.5" CCW's with 335/30/18 Micheline Pilot Sports in rear and 18x10" CCW's with 285/35/18's in front

SS fuel and brake lines
Black and Silver POR-15 paint

Rear end rebuilt by Van Steel with hardened spindles
3.55 rear ratio
Composite adjustable rear spring
QA1 adjustable semi coilovers
Steeroids rack and pinion
Offset TA
Van Steel tubular A-Arms
Custom built driveshaft

Probably going with Wilwood for brakes...just undecided on 6 or 4 piston and rotor size.











EDIT: Added photos: Body back on for a couple weeks before final bodywork which will be done on rotessirie.

Type you up a nice build sheet and put her on the tank.

Default Good enough as is

I'd just put floor boards, seats, and a shift on it and drive it as is just to show off all the silver and chrome innards.

WOW...I gotta admit...I'm drooling too. Nice job!!

One question...did you make trans crossmember removable while you were there? It sure will be tough to pull trans later if you ever have to. Right now is the time to modify/replace crossmember...ask me how I know!!
