For
those who have been following the progression of my Superbee. I had
some difficulties with the chassis shop owner, he was willing to take my
money but didn't want to do any work. I gave him several opportunities
to make things right but nothing changed. I then contacted a friend
of mine whom I should have spoken to originally and he referred me to COMP
CHASSIS. I went down to his shop and looked at some of his work in
progress. There were some beautiful Hot rods that he was working
on. Some were needing full tubular chassis and some were in for minor
repairs. After discussing my needs and checking on several references
I then had my car sent to his shop for completion. Richard who is
the owner of the chassis shop has been immensely valuable in the process
of building this car. Without his knowledge and advice I would be
lost being that this is my first prostreet car and not just a simple restoration.
I decided to forgo with
drag racing and build the car for the street. This would involve
a lot more work and a lot more money. This would involve having a
total rethinking on what to do with the interior. I also had to rethink
the engine transmission combination. After consulting Richard the
owner of Comp Chassis I decided to go all out and have a full blown 426
Hemi built for the car. I also had a very bad experience with Arlen
Venki. I'll post a full page on him. He's a real piece of work
needless to say.
In this photo the frame
rails had to be moved in a inch on each side to accommodate the 16in tires,
just one minor error amongst others from the previous shop. The ladder
bar brackets are attached and ready to go and the rear end is fitted.
I decided to go with
latter bars instead of four link, because I won't be racing. There
are also to many combinations when setting up a four link when I do decide
to have it taken to the track. I have to see what it will do once
it is finished. There's nothing that bugs me more than someone who
builds a prostreet car with out taking it down the track at least once
to see what it will do. But that's just my two cents!
please forward any
