So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Buying A Custom Built Street Rod Chassis

By Michael Burns


Cars have different parts, each with its own function. Whether it is the suspension or the braking system, each component is important. In case you plan to refurbish your car or build a new one, there a certain things that you should get a professional to do for you. This might include getting someone to build a street rod chassis for you.

Some of the terms an expert may throw around, may sound like gibberish to someone with no idea about cars. Street rods are generally older cars, the years of manufacture may differ but they generally fall between nineteen ninety four and nineteen sixty. This category also involves the vehicles made to resemble the old makes. Every automobile is mounted on a frame that ensures that it is stable and can work on the road. This element is the chassis.

If you happen to own one of these vintage beauties and plan to start driving it around, you will need to get some improvements made. This will be made to suit a modern driver. The difference in speed and the road, make the old cars a bit difficult to drive in this era. You should also consider that they have been around for a while, and some of the parts may be faulty.

When you get a mechanic who can build this frame for you, there are some things they will put into consideration. The specific vehicle and the driver personal attributes, like the speed he or she plans to attain, and the roads to be used will determine how the frame will be constructed.

You can choose to have the whole automobile fabricated at the shop. One can also opt to have a few specific part from the shop. If the latter is the case, then you need to make sure that the parts being made, fit the make of the car. The designer may choose to add some special features, which will make it more efficient. After the frame is complete you may choose to have it delivered. Some of the parts will already be assembled leaving you with little to do.

An aspect that should not be overlooked is the testing. The frame should be properly tested before leaving the shop. This should involve subjecting it to extreme conditions to ensure the engineering and construction is up to standard. This assures you as the owner that no matter what you plan to do with the car, it will not fall apart.

Considering these cars were not built for this era, their suspension will also require to be upgraded. This will ensure the frame is not too low, and you will not end up scarping the exhaust on the ground or at a bump. There are many options available for the client. This can be air bags, drop axles or even independent front and back systems.

There are perks to getting the chassis made at a local fabricating shop. Here you can monitor the progress, and be involved in the entire process. The materials will also be good quality and the job well done, to ensure that you can refer them to your friends. You should make sure that you get a warranty for the work done.
