Thread: 23 Roadster build

Got some mocked up this weekend, don't know exactly what I'll do with the suspension yet. Maybe a four link rear?

I like it so far.

Me too, and you are going to have some leg room in there with that stretched body.

You beat me to it Don---- Finally a bucket with real leg room for us tall guys, and all steel too. Very cool project good luck with it and keep those pictures coming.

Funny you should mention that. I was looking at how long the body was last night. I mocked up some seating. I had to put two seat backs in one side to get it close. So I can possibly mount a seat back in there, and have a tad of room behind it. Maybe some room for roundbars.

Little progress this weekend. 40' of 2X4 box steel was delivered to my house last week. Got the front rails pinched to 3" and frame stacked (Z'd) 4" at the cowl. Wondering if I should narrow the rear Z still. I have to decide soon if I'm going to run a bed or not. If I do narrow it - should I double the rear bulkhead (crossmember)? And should the upright be birdmouthed onto that bulkhead (crossmember)? I want to make sure the frame is overengineered. All I got so far.

Got most of the frame done, just need to sort out the suspension yet. Can't wait for the chassis to be done already!
