We are currently building/developing a Class 1 car, light and compact, that will be great for smaller engine packages, and not weigh in at 4000 LBS like many.

I will also be a great 2 seat dune masher.

Chassis will be 1 3/4 tubing D.O.M.
Boxed lower front duel pivot a-arms with 1.5 uni-balls
14" x 14 degree 2" hollow spindles
4130 tubing upper duel pivot a-arms with 7/8" heims
2.5 rack with attached control valve on bulkhead style mount
Rear trailing arms are 4130 tube (boxed style later) 30" long
Wheel base will be 115" (can be made longer or shorter)

This should be a fun build. Pictures/updates often:

Cant wait for more updates!

Added more progress pictures

wow, you guys work fast!

Had arms done and most of those tubes fit and ready to go, interior dimensions are hard part, want it big enough for 2 wide/full size seats with enough elbow room. Brackets and tabs for front end are being cut, some are done already, some are new specific for this build, steering bulkhead will be just for this car.

how are you going to tie the raised torshin in I know it is early in the build and am not picking it apart .Looks nice when and were do you plan to race at. keep the pics comming I like seeing real cars built on here.

The lower outside frame rails bend up to the bottom of the torsion tube. More pictures to follow

Here is more pics to show the torsion housing. One long 3/4" bolt.

nice frame table

Thanks, its a work in progress, used by someone else for years, if they could only talk the stories they could tell!!!

Front and rear arm pictures, front boxed lowers, tube rear, and tube uppers

More build updates!!!!!!

You already have it on wheels? I really like the tabs how they "wrap" around the torsion housing. This is going to be a monster.

Looking great Joe!!! When do you think it will be ready to race?

Sooner than later if I can sell #1369 4 seater, need the cash to complete.

All of the front suspension and rack bulkhead does the same "wrap" and boxed in between, pictures to follow.

Additional build pictures.

Awesome!

WOW you guys are jamming imagine if the shops could build cars that fast!!! And this doesnt look to be some cheap cheesy job!!! Congrats keep up the swift great work!!!

Looks awesome. How many hours goes into an A-arm? I like they way those are built.

Close to 2 days each arm, from start to finish, thanks.

Pics pics pics! We love that stuff!

Cant wait to see this thing complete! Looks amazing.

Looking good bud. I like those shock mounts

Thanks Shannon, she's a roller, will post pictures soon. Joe

FRONT END PICTURES, LIKE IT??????

Looking awesome Joe... Who is MB Racing? Is that the design of the car? Give me some more specs...

MB Racing is Myself and a partner doing our own builds.

Whats it stand for? Mega Bitchin...?

No but thats better, I LIKE IT.

Looking insane!!!

GOT TRAVEL, front end cycles 27 1/2" with 2 degrees of bump steer starting at the 24" travel mark.

Geeeees, how much travel do you need... Only 2 degrees at the end of the travel, thats great... Was it CAD designed?

Yes it was cad designed to give us the maximum possible travel, with minimum bump steer and camber change not starting untill way late in the travel range. Also set up a true duel pivot, so the car is very wide 94" with 7" btr's on the front, but when it is time to transport, raise it with a rachet strap between the two arms, and it will still fit into a toy hauler without hitting fold down seats. This will fit no problem and with no tire change in an enclosed trailer.

Nice!

X2....GEEBUS!!!!!! 27.5"!!!!!

Hey joe its johnny, the car is coming along ,I'd love to come by one night and take a look at it . Talk to ya soon .

PM'd Joe

Been some down time, but finally a roller!!!!!!!!

Nice! I like alot! Just a V6 though....through a real powerplant in there haus!

Are you going to be another one of those Ecotec class 10 guys? Looks great by the way.

I'm still planning on doing the Night race in August, as long as I don't break too many more parts...

Real motor needs a real trans, don't think a 2d will hold up under race conditions???

No ecotec, just the 3.5 Honda, I will be there at the night race so we can meet there. Keep me posted on the plans as it gets closer. Joe

In looking at your pictures I realized somthing had a strong look alike like somthing in my shop. I would bet money you drink more beer at the back of the car. That is were the rust starts from touching it more. my car does the same thing. Funny.

Very good and so true!!!, O.K. I would have cleaned her all up if this was a fluff-athon!!!, just work in progress, will come by and tip some of your coors lites at the next MORE race. Joe

that thing looks wicked. love those tall body panels. what are the overall measurements?

Will do...

I gots no pm johnny

I really am liking this car.
keep the build pics flowing.

I look forward to it . I half to keep the ice chest lid moving so it does not seize up so you are always welcome in our pits.
