Schwartz 1964 Chevelle Chassis Final Fix
After months and months of dicking around with this Schwartz piece o'crap chassis, I finally have the last hurdle just about fixed.....Remember, this is a custom built chassis for the 1964/1965 Chevelle....Not one thing was correct. After fixing what I thought was everything and having it powdercoated, I go to bolt it up to the body and the rear kick-ups interfered with the trunk pan. After being so sick and in and out of the hospital that I couldn't work on the chassis for several months. I am finally beginning to feel a bit better so an old friend and I tackle the project...Here are some pictures of the interference, the cut away and finally everything 90% welded in place......
