What direction are you going with that build? I live in Tucson also.

Re: My chassis coming along
That looks more like a chassis for an altered than a chassis for a pickup but it ought to be plenty strong. What's the plan for the truck when it's done?

Re: My chassis coming along
I was wondering if you were building it to run in the Goodguys Autocross events.

Re: My chassis coming along
Nice setup... looks like overkill for a 'grocery-getter' but if it shows your skills then it shows them well for a business card!
What size are your rear wheels and tires? tire make? Thanks

Re: My chassis coming along
Others thought autocross. I thought drag week. Looks like that frame will take some serious HP. I would like to see it, live, especially when you start to set the sheet metal on so I can wrap my mind around your double tube design. It looks almost pro stock. Hope my answers to your questions were sufficient. I can barely remember last week. I do engine/drive train stuff if you haven't already made those choices or want to see where I went.(go)
