mod3l Lover Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Well now, . . . . . here is a good bit of fun!! I will tag along and see where this goes! David S.
TarheelRick Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 That is some fantastic chassis building. I also used the '57 Chevy pro mod chassis as a pattern for an EXP I am building. Looking forward to more updates. Are you planning on removing the front inner fenders? Might give you better clearance for exhaust and turbo tubing.
PorkChopPaws Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Really nice work. Where did you find the wheels and tires?
AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Nice topic, Great to see some intensive sratch building one the frame/cage in order to create an exclusive model. Superb job on the rear axle too! Keep doing your great work!!!
streetmachine11 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 finished the assembly on the rear axle, wheel studs and lug nuts, brakes, 4 link, and brackets. fit everything together now time for rear shocks and fron struts

Claude Thibodeau Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Hi Jason! Great design, superb execution! Bravo! CT

This Impala is Jason Schofield's build. It IS a beauty. I'm just a pedestrian walking by on this tread and complimenting Jason about it. I'd like to claim it as one of my builds, but alas, not this time! CT
Dave Ambrose Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 I love this build and will be following.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Glad to see you back in the saddle Jason, I love that project!
Steve H Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Hi Jason, I’m relatively new here on the forum, and hadn’t seen this build yet. I still have a lot of catching up to do! This is absolutely fabulous. I love Tim’s comment that this is like a modellers swimsuit edition, that gave me a laugh. There are a handful of you guys that are just in a league of your own, and it is truly a pleasure to watch the builds progress. Also fun to see the high amount of respect you have for each other. I will definitely be following along now, this is a stunning build, thanks for sharing! Cheers, Steve

Cheers, Steve hello Steve! this form is inspiring to say the least. there are so many helpful people here it really makes you strive to be better. having met some of the members at shows and swap meets as well as having the support and help from everyone here are really friends to me.
streetmachine11 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 thank you for all the wonderful comments everyone! I made a jig to make control arms so they match. will also use it on future builds. after a control arm was made I made a few mounting points and set it up to see the result. still need to make more mounting points and the other control arm. most likely a plate for the middle of the arm too.
Claude Thibodeau Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Hi Jason! Your jig is very clever. It seems to be made from styrene stock? I envy your surgical application of glue in such closed quarters. I would be too old to attemps that... Ah, the joys of youth! Mine are made of wood, more forgiving for shakes. Getting older by the day, you know. Those struts are world class, they look 1/1. Keep on, impressive! CT
