Just read through this entire thread and like the other people I agree that it should be tubbed but that is really up to you. I will say I'm very jealous of the fact you're able to accomplish all of this work at only 18 or 19. I'm 24 and I doubt I could do this crazy of a build. Best of luck with it and keep up the good work. Do your own thing.

Weld and blend in some thick as steel plates to all the rails, paint and at least buy yourself some time.

So with springs that stiff you've eliminated all the suspension function. Neat.
I wonder how the car will ride with just tires for suspension like an old fat tire 3 wheeler.


If you got rid of the forward rake it currently has you'd gain some clearance to the front subframe.


Also I'd recommend bent-type rear toe arms, your straight type are basically hitting the subframe studs.


Good luck with axles.

Who needs frame rails... Kid is in Canada. 1/2 the 240's here have no frame rails or floors anyway so I guess he wants to join that club.

Which raises the question as to why a perfectly good car is going to turn into the rest of the rust bucket, frameless and floorless 240s already there?

[di-devol]

Then dont post your shit on a public thread?

[Malik]

Its deteriorated pretty bad. So, people are going to the take time and pleasure to flame you.

[5280VertDET]

At least tack-weld in some thick replaceable metal plates, like slammed mini trucks, to protect the frame rails and sub frame.

Hate to see all that work just get trashed in a year of driving...

Also, look into the xcessive skid plate to protect the oil pan, etc.

That's good at least you aren't going to leave them all mangled and useless. Try to do a cleaner job of the slimmer rails that the guy did in the picture though. The seams on his looks kinda half-assed, and drill some drain holes.

Ya thats the one, good score. Same neither have I. I was trying to get some of my friends to grab it, since my interior is red.

[Unit 02]

damn this car is going in

[wanboy]

I had to register just to tell you how badly you fcked that S chassis and how much of a retard you sound like on a public forum. You sound like a stereotypcial 18 year old douche who thinks he knows everything.

I would never care what someone else did to their car, but dude...you destroyed a perfectly good S chassis. Even when its completed its going to be undriveable. Good luck ever trying to leave your garage with out ripping off your front end. Not to mention trying to get that pos certified.

Jesus, all i wanted was to find a project inspiration build thread tonight but, found this stupid thread that I hate everything this car is about, and im not even that much older than you.

If this is the route these cars are about these days, i may have to find a different project.

cliffs: ITT how to be 18 years old, tell everyone to go fuck themselves and ruin a perfectly good S-chassis

Battery box is cool, build is about as cool as having aids. This is some Florida shit.
