I received a juke box ford through a trade with a friend of mine, but it's just the body and windows. Therefore, this will be another tube chassis build. I'm also gonna make the supercharger from scratch as well as using one of my custom motors. I'm trying something a little different with the chassis as far as the detail so wish me luck

When building tube chassis the first step I do is the floor. I usually divide the distance of the body by three and then lay down the rails

Then I bend the mail loop to fit the inner body and roof of the car. The base for the fire wall sits right underneath the top of the fender

For this color I'm going with a previous color scheme that I did on my 07 gt500 which is a burgundy and off white two tone

I don't know what you call that part comin off the main loop at the top, but it's the first time I have implemented it into a chassis that I have built and I say it's going to be present in all of scratch builds from now on.

This block is a casted version of a motor I made from styrene sheets. I have no idea of the cubic inches, all I know is that it is a big block and it fits well

I'm gonna keep a very low ride height for this build just because I think it looks cool and I haven't done anything like that yet.

I wish I could build a hole chassis, we got out may 18

I got out on may 22nd because I had senior exemptions from all finals ??
