IknowBlueberry Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I had Art Morrison build a new custom chassis. I don’t know if anyone has done that before or not. They were like what kind of vehicle is that? LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Wow, nice build. What's next? Quote Link to comment
IknowBlueberry Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 We are moving the 77 over to the shop to get the body off the old chassis. We have to get our ride heights for the Art Morrison chassis and start welding the body mounts on. Quote Link to comment

I wont blame you if you dont want to disclose the cost but just curious what they got for the custom frame... what's your plans for suspension components? Did they incorporate mounts into the frame or is that up to you? Quote Link to comment

Did they incorporate mounts into the frame or is that up to you? They do not do the body mounts. It was expensive, I sold my 1998 Wrangler with 63k original miles and my 2012 KTM Super Motto to pay for the chassis. I have coil overs all around and 13in Wilwood brakes front and rear. The total for the chassis with shocks, Wilwood brakes, steering rack, shipping, axels, rear end etc... little over $17,000. (Yikes!) 2 Quote Link to comment

All of the suspension is built around the tire and rim. Oh yeah and “Because Racecar” Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Sounds good. I can understand. Quote Link to comment
Shortmorris Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Sad, the links to the pictures are no longer working for me. I am doing some research in doing this or something EXTREMEMLY similar involving an IRS subframe and some other improvements... I would really be interested in knowing/asking more about this.
