Default Roaster Shop Chassis

Has anyone put a Mid-year coupe on a Roaster Shop Fast Track Chassis. I will be getting mine delivered soon and am concerned about how much body modifications are necessary in the rear interior area. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Most likely will need tubbing. Did you do any research prior to ordering?

Yes, but never got a straight answer. I’m wondering how much. Don’t want tub to put bigger tires. Just want to fit body. Have you done one?

I have one. The car was sent to RS for them to install their fiberglass tub and it has GTS Customs widened rear quarter panels to squeeze in the 325's in the rear.

.


Gives you and idea of how much gets changed.

Looking at the picture on Roadster Shop site the only area I see that might require body modification is at the #4 mount position where the added support is supplied.

I don’t want to put wide fenders. Want to keep body as stock as possible. Just want to put on chassis with as little mod as possible. Thanks.

You'll want to make sure you talk to RS about what wheel/tire combo would work best. Did you get the narrowed chassis? I ask b/c if you use stock fenders there might be very little room to squeeze a wheel in there b/c of how far out the hub sits.
