They're not far from me, so if I can be of any assistance.

Did see that they posted in the Regional Southeast forum yesterday or the day before - so they're "alive".

Well i was actually able to finally get in touch with them on the phone and talk to them about what i wanted BUT it looks like if i go their route then i have to sell my frame as a roller cause i wont be able to reuse any of the suspension or rack and pinion stuff. soooooo what would be a good price to ask for a good condition 76 rolling frame with VB&P performance plus suspension all new stainless slotted rotters, powder coated red o-ring calipers, stainless brake lines and steeroids rack and pinion oooooh and the TTII's as well cause i will go bigger if i do this.

You will probably get more $ selling things individually. Items like the brakes, rotors and r&p steering system will appeal to a much wider audience than a rolling chassis. Plenty of people are looking for good condition bare frames.

Liquiddragon,
Did you pull the trigger on this chassis by Street Shop Inc.?
I too am interested on getting one of these. Did they quote you a price?
I want the C4 suspension as well.
Just curious.
Thanks
