Sorry about that. I omitted a couple letters. It should be www.cachassisworks.comOriginally posted by zero_proto
i checked that out pro, but it came up to this power supply development? So i tried .net and something up but there was no way to order a catalog.
you did your own 4 link right? if so how long did it take you?
Ya. I'm building my own (Art Morrison actually) chassis. (Far from done). You can click on the camera by my name to see pics. of what I've done so far. It's a learn as I go project, but most of it is just common sense stuff, coupled with going to the track to see what everybody else is doing, Going to tech certifications to see what NOT to do. And getting publications like the catalog from chassisworks, Books like Jerry Bickel's Complete guide to chassis performance, etc.. Jerry Bickel's book has a ton of good information both for building and for tuning a chassis (Geared toward Pro Stock Set-ups). If you plan to build your own from scratch I would strongly suggest at least buying the main back half rails. A company like chassisworks or art morrison can mandrel bend them for a much better finished product. You could cut and weld the angles to make the rails, but a one piece rail is much cleaner looking and stronger. I guess the same could be said for the other components too. They can cut them cheaper and faster than hand fabricating. I made some of my rear suspension parts only because no one makes 4 link brackets, etc. for my combination(Aluminum rear housing). Even with a CNC machine it still was very time consuming to get the parts just right. I made many wooden parts first to get everything to fit before I cut the Steel and aluminum parts. It wasn't cost effective at all, but I wanted to do it in house cuz' that's the point right? Good luck with your project. If I can help you with your project I will do what I can. There's a few 4 link gurus here that can lend a hand. All it takes is deeeeep pockets and time."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.
