Just got off the ph with Louie Wirbel second pass this new sled ever made is a 8.55 with a 1.156 60' footer,Lou says this setup is going to be the way to go!!!
cant wait till he gets some test time on it.
Just to let you know a couple things about it, I believe you use your tunnel and attach it to the Proline Billit bulkhead,Lou's sled is based off the rev and uses the one piece body kit,when you take the body off the engine is right there simular to a ck3 chassis no frame work in your way to get to the engine.
Great job John,Lou,Edwin Sheryl
Wish I was there!!!!!!!!
Chassis is based on Proline Billet front end with a stock Rev Tunnel. Same front end as ProLine Open Mod with some dimensional changes. This is a great chassis!
John is working on the number 2 production as we speak.

awesome 60 that is for sure. very interesting on what is allowed these days considering all the hullaballu on OEM blah blah blah
ptm
Here is the rules from the website.
CHASSIS
Commercially available aftermarket frames permitted, design and integrity are subject to tech inspection. All frame components except braces, brackets, and gussets must be manufactured from 4130 chromoly tubing and plate or 6061-T6 aluminum plate. Stock OEM bulkhead allowed and reinforcement allowed.
From what i can read, the aluminum front bulkhead is allowed with no question. It meets those specs.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for there help. We had a wonderful time in Norwalk, and the new chassis shows lots of potential. On the new chassis we are running a chaincase with hyvo gears and chain.

Frame component translates into aftermarket open mod front end with stock tunnel.

Well that just about covers the Proline, Wahl, Spenser chassies with full bodywork I do believe. On to the next item for the whiners to cry about.
