sicripp83 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 hey guys iv been reading a lot on chassie fabrication, ect.. and im looking to start on my '78 z. the question I have is how dose every set their car up for these modifications. for example do you leave the car on the suspension and weld on your braces , frame connectors, ect or do you set it up on jack stands and level the car? and if you do set it up on jack stands wheres the best place to place them? iv searched a lot of fab web sites but most guys seem to put their cars on chassie bench's. not every one has those. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 1. There is a lot of access with a rotisserie that cannot be easily had in any other way. 2. There is a chassis dimension guide in the service manuals that should be used to ensure a straight car before you fab the roll cage. 3. The wheel and tire combo is absolutely necessary on hand before you start your project. Seat and steering wheel+mount are also needed for mockup. 4. The front end upper strut mounts may need to be moved rearward(3/4") to increase caster without moving the wheels too far forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
