Great to hear! Using that chassis should make for a really light car.

So i got a few set backs today. But nothing major...............


Called Alston Chassis to order the rest of the frame finally. Shipping has went way up drastically ! The front frame is 439 but they said shipping is gonna be around the 300 mark so i opted out of the tube chassis idea. lol


So i did some checking i can get the Heidts mustang II stuff here local at a street rod shop for cheaper than i can have it delivered. so that part is figured out.


The second half was to find the up swept 2x3 frame rails at a decent price. (this was the hard part ! ) But i found them and alot of other cheap stuff also. The frame rails are $185.00 for the pair and have the upsweep in the front to lower the chassis more. And shipping was only around $90.00. So now i got the front frame figured and i will get the new 4 link rear section from jegs


The Websites are as shown here..................................

these guys are the suppliers of major chassis components ( so now you knock out the middle man and go straight to the source ! ) I have bought some stuff from them in the past and they are very friendly and they sell nice chassis components

you guys know this one ! this is the only mail order i ever use usually as they are cheaper on parts and you get your stuff in 3 days if it is an in stock item.

Sounds great. I hear Heidts stuff is really good. Jegs has great chassis stuff and they're shipping is cheap and fast. I mostly have dealt with Summit though. Most stuff is at my front door in 2 days.
