Rooster thats racing...Don't get me wrong, I ain't made of money BUt if I was worrried about it I would not have let you drive it. Everything is re-usable except the front axle beam and front rims and a spindle and a brake disk. I got an extra brake disk and an extra oil pan. Just a matter of building a chassis and transferring everything over. I think the only thing I will have to actually buy is two front wheels . No biggie. Just lots a work ahead. I won't take in any work till my stuff is ready. Trying to finish a couple motors so I can get started.
Gonna try anything radical with this one? or just a basic build?

 I always do something different. Thats what we call innovation. LOL

Just wanted to say Thanks!

I finished my first build for our Stock Class, and I built a MTD chassis like this one, built most of it just like this one, with a few changes, and it works great!  I got 3rd in the heat, 1st in the feature, and 1st in another exhibition race the first race out!  This build was extremely helpful, and my first build would not have turned out this well without it.   Thanks again George!

This is the very front of the sub frame. You cut the lower lip off square with the rest of the chassis. This is a legal cut in US.

George is this a legal ARMA SuperStock cut?

ps. I just ordered my EC 26 AXLE BEAM and 700 trans plate for my build :)

nope 3/4 thin wall. Once welded in stiffens quite nicely and very rigid. And don't add alot of weight either.


My local supplier sells this 3/4 tubing in sizes:      16 guage,  14 guage, and 11 guage.  which size did you use on this?  thanks.

George- I dont want to beat a dead horse but, in the pics of your belt guides and pulley setup, Do you have trouble with the belt rubbing the clutch pedal bolt for the clutch pedal "arm" ? Mine seems to rub that area, mainly when the clutch is depressed and the belt has slack. Seems to be causing a problem the last couple races with the back side of the belt getting cut in that area. I guess i will try to come up with a different clutch rod design to gain more clearence for the belt.....

Did you ever change your bias adjuster to the dash on this George? I am currently building a BP and putting front brakes on and have been looking at the easiest way to bias the braking. I dont know if I should find a bigger master and a brake bias on the dash or to run 2 masters and just use a clevis system like you did. My problem is that I only know enough to get myself in trouble with this issue. Thanks for posting your builds as it helps all of us.

I used the clevis setup you see but I modified it and have an adjustment on the dash. I can dail rear brake in or out to get the feel I want.

Is running the brake line for the front brakes through the automotive brake tubing something that you have continued to do? or did you find a better way?

them pre made braided lines are the ticket, although much more expensive, i have used the steel auto lines like George did, i never have trusted the nylon stuff, but that is just my opinion!

I have been debating the braided lines, but my rebuild went WAYYY over budget this year, and the wife isn't happy as it is.  :lol:  We may see if I can sneak one by her.
