CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION

The frame is a T.C.I. Model "A" reproduction that has been raised and narrowed in the rear.

The center Crossmember is a custom "K" ember that I made. It is made from 1/8 inch steel box tubing with stamped 1/8-inch U-channel legs about 2 plus feet long. The trans mount is intergraded into this. There are pass through bungs installed in the Crossmember in order to pass the brake line and 2 fuel lines through it. The 6:1 ratio brake pedal / Corvette master cylinder is intergraded into the Crossmember as well. Everything was Tig-Welded and partially ground smooth (metal finished).

The rear Jag. Crossmember is custom. It has been revised and re-angled for the correct pinion angle. The rear shock tubes are centered and thicker tubing than normal. There are gussets in the corners. Again everything was Big-Welded and partially ground smooth. Shock tubes are tack welded only1

The rear suspension is a 1-inch per side narrowed 3.8 Sedan Jag. The lower control arms have been lowered 1-inch at the shocks. The hub carriers are custom made (chromed steel, Dan Woods's look-a-likes) with over 60 in them alone. There is over 50 hours in re-shaping, smoothing, etc. that has been done on the rear-end itself. There are 4 Billet Aldan Shocks with Polished Quick-Change style from Speedway Motors. The Drive hubs both a 4 3/4 & 4 1/2 Bolt patterns. The rear-end gears are 350:1 Pos (new); all of the rest is new inside as well. The brakes are polished 4-pistion Willwood. The link plated 1/2-inch thick rotors are new with a groove machined in the middle. Most of the hardware is 12-point aircraft.

The front suspension is a Kugel I.F.S. It is investment cast polished stainless steel show quality. Everything is either polished or chrome plated. The calipers are polished 4-piston Willwood's. It has a new TRW rack (black) with a chrome front sway bar. The front shocks match the rear (Billet Aldans with progressive wound variable-rate springs that are chrome). The Crossmember is Big welded with partial metal finishing. The wheelbase is 1/2-inch longer than stock, as I wanted a better, more centered look in the fenders.

The radiator mounting tabs were moved forward (1-inch) as well for a sleeker look.

The motor mounts are Big-Welded and ground smooth on top. They allow a S.B.C. with side mounts to install effortlessly. The mounts also allow the use of a 4-utbe full length headers.

The Fram has been fully filled and or ground flat to an 80-grit D.A. finish (Grinder mode).

The chassis is primed in light gray enamel primer.

The only thing that needs to be done to the chassis in order to finish it is the following: 1. Make & install the rear radius rods & radius rod frame brackets 2. Make & install rear pinion support, 3. Weld the top shock tubes, they are tacked welded now 4. set the pre-load in the hubs. I have the parts!
