Your Dodge? Wheels are off your Dads truck. Garage is heaven

The building is 2500 sq ft, I tried to think of everything while building it. The blue pole supports a 16" I beam that runs from the wall out 25.5' allowing me to pick a whole truck. I recessed it into the ceiling so it didn't hang down. The I beam has two trollies which will pick up a ton a piece. Funny the pole was originally going to be the corner of the paint booth, but in the end I just can't do body work in this building. I will have to keep body and paint in the old building.

To be honest, it has been so long since I built that chassis I can't find, nor can I remember where I found The C5 blueprints. It may have been in a body shop crash book, but truly can't recall. Ron Sutton is currently helping me on my AMX http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/8...tal-full-frame. He is an excellent resource on suspension geometry, for a very reasonable fee he can design you a suspension layout based on your project needs. A little more aggressive camber gain and ackerman can really help the suspension strategy.

Good luck with the project.

Drug the car in to stick a new clutch in before Motorstate, forgot how cool the car was on the bottom.

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
