Voided, i'm sorry I found that site.
I've never used them, always made my own. Sure didn't know they were flakey like that!

I guess I should have posted a waiver.
My girl friends brother replaced his Vette rear trailing arm bushings and ask me who did a good alignment. There was a guy that had worked with my uncle at an independent tire/align shop, really good with Vette rear end alignments. He had been hired away by Firestone, so I sent him down there. They mounted his new rear tires and aligned. He called me as soon as he got to Longmont Co, pissed was putting it mildly. He chewed the inside of both tires to the cords. Come to find out, the guy got hireded out by Chevy garage a few days before.

How hard would they be to fabricate yourself?

Tfoch not hard if i only use flat stock. still torn between which rod i want to build. with such a clean body i was leaning towards a resto mod minus paint because i really like the 88 yr old patina. and not where i just slap some stuff together and look unfinished.
i cant technically call it a ratrod because ive only been collecting chevy parts for it. and nothing really being re purposed.
my goal is still $3000 budget and im still under that but gotta get my front end, brake system, driveshaft and wiring. i know ill go over my budget but im trying to stick to it with out cutting corners.
i want something i can keep and pass down to my kids some day. even if its 2028 before one will be able to act like they are driving it.

frame is in, currently waiting on front cross member to come in. Frame is a 5" front and 12" rear z. already set for my small block and turbo 400.
body has been sitting and i have been playing with some sheet metal and some brakes / benders to help me in the long run..
gotta measure the body and decide on a rear to use. i have a 10bolt but it needs a complete rebuild, and dont think its wide enough.

That's a good looking chassis. engine mounts, transmission mount, all in place. Whatt are you using for front and rear suspension?
