Chassis Wickedfab

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

CHASSIS NAME-------???

the chassis it made to be roomy, low, and still fit a big running gear. it will easily fit a small block chevy,465,205.

the chassis are not your standard assembly line chassis. if you need one smaller /bigger/etc we will build to your spec. and be priced accordingly.


here are some pics

[dpriest]

any idea how much they will be after the first two , if you will make more than two? I love the look of this chassis but i dont have the money to buy one til i get a new job(after i get my drivers license back on the 27th.) im only 17 but i want to build up a buggy, i was planning on trying to do it all, but i realized that is out of my skill range, so im going to buy one and finish it off. Thanks

Ryan,

Are you going to be at the shop later? IF so I would like to stop by and take a look at it. I just don't have the time to build one myself.

Thanks,
Bernie

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

yup ill be here mang.... :D

[crwln73]

any plans on a four seater? Im interested

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

yup four seater is getting started manana.. :D

[CCOR]

That looks pretty wild man, nice work! I second that on the 4 seater.

[flexj]

What are the tubing dimensions and chasis weight?

Got a pic of one finished?

[Flatty]

Ryan, any pics of the 4 seater? How about length on the wheelbase on the 4 seater? I am really interested in the 4 seater. I can't swing the time to build the chassis myself.

What sizes is the tubing? DOM, HREW, Pipe :flipoff2:

Dima

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

4 seater is in progress.

the tubing is 1.75 .120 hrew

wheel base for the 2 seater is about 106 depending on where you want the axles.

the estimated wb on the 4 seater is 118-122?

[Flatty]

I saw these in person last night... I know where i am getting my chassis from. These are SUPAH BADASS!!!!!!!! 4 seater here I come. These are built top notch.

Ryan, I'll be there Sunday (tomorrow) morning with a cash deposit. I could pick it up on Monday after work with the balance.

That's right biatches, the Wicked Fab 2 seater Malvado #1 is mine.

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Looks kick a** Ryan, keep up the good work we're all watching! :grinpimp: Interested in trading some product? I could throw in some $$$$ to boot to cover the excess.

ummm a stretched 2 seater :flipoff2:

[JeepinDoug]

ummm a stretched 2 seater :flipoff2:

Yup, I had to go and be like a fickle teenage girl and change my mind.
The 4 seater will be the one for me.
Shall the 4 seater be Malvado²?

The good news is the 2 seater is ready, who's gonna get a bad-ass chassis?
For a smokin deal too.

[BulldogCJ5]

Any other pics of the 2 seater? Your rather far for me to do a direct inspect. Any specs on length of frame, width, height?

After my dramatic roll on Sunday :shaking: I'm looking for a good frame to build what I want instead of adapt from something else. :beer:

[2D EDGE]

looking for more info on the 4 seater? Shoot us some pictures

[JeepinDoug]

looking for more info on the 4 seater? Shoot us some pictures


Ryan has another thread, a contest thread to name the chassis, it had more pics. I guess they deleted the thread since the contest was over with the name Malvado.
Since I wanted the chassis I copied some pics, 2 seater only pics.
Ryan will fill you in on the 4 seater dimesions.

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

ok an update.....

i will ge more pics manana.

the 4 seater is taking a little more time to figure things out, # 2 chassis was going to become a 4 seater for doug....but the engineering was a little wrong in th foundation of the chassis to make it a 4 seater. so its another 2 seater, dougs will be #3. i didnt relize the problems until this evening when we went to finish up the rear. the 4 seater design is figured out and will be done in a few days. the front half will be done manana. it will look the same from the b pillar forward, but the rear will be about 20 " longer and estimated wb is about 120".


ryan

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

:d

[JeepinDoug]

I was so hoping to call mine "My #2" cause I'm always working on my shit.

Those swept door bars on #2 are pimpin. :grinpimp:

The #1 (2 seater) is bad ass, someone's got to buy it up quick.

[mynameiscj]

That is a really nice looking chassis. I don't have the pocket book for it, but like it just the same.

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Ryan I e-mailed you, think I got the right e-mail addy this time anyhow check it and let me know what you think. Has to fit a BB chevy also, Thanks Shawn

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Ryan you will have some $$ this morning as we discussed. PP'ing you to the e-mail addy we have been talking back and forth via. Let me know if this is not correct. Let me know also on the couple of other things I had questions on. Can't wait to get this in the shop and start building the rig. Thanks Shawn

ttt

[Greatlakeoffroad]

You have some $$ my friend :)

[jchio]

Im interested on the 4 seater and got the mola ready to go (paypal)...

Please PM if you have more details...

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

thnx shawn...

pmd ya jchio

[Greatlakeoffroad]

I sell product to alot of chassis builders, all of who are very good at what they do. But I think it says alot when I will pay double or triple the shipping to buy this guys chassis and ship it all the way across country to me. Not only does Ryan have pride in his work the guy has style and alot of class. This isn't only a chassis its artwork unlike any I've seen to date. Look forward to getting this in my shop. Thanks Shawn


thnx shawn...

pmd ya jchio

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Did I mention a killer price also? :flipoff2:

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

thnx mang.....

update on the 4 seater.....
the first chassis took some thinkin to make look cool and be small but big and roomy etc.....

but the 4 seater is testing me. its way hard to make it look cool even tho its way long.....its going to be badass imho..should have pics manana.

[geberhard]

Ryan,

Definitely kick ass! Waiting to see the 4 seater!

Gui

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

spy pics of the 4 seater..... :D

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Have you looked at raising that middle roof support as of yet? Thanks Shawn

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

yes.... ganna look funnay with the headache bar down in the middle and the midle spreader raising 10" above that...the top looks way to tall . im going to have to move the headache bar up and bend it a tad more to give it the same look as the others. o biggie tho.. :D

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Don't worry about it then sounds more like a pain in the a** then what its worth and I really like the look you have now I just was thinking more about function. Thanks Shawn

HARD TO SEE THE REAR LINES BUT THEY ARE SIC..............

[JeepinDoug]

I'll have some good pics up today, got to sleep late last night and got up late today.
The MG1 is bad-ass.
Thanks again Ryan, you're way talented with the tube works.

[JeepinDoug]

Here are some shots, I got to get some casters under it. Both Flatty (thanks again) and myself were able to pick up the chassis and walk it into the garage. I have no idea of the weight yet but if we could move it, it's not that heavy.

A straight rear pic doesn't do it justice;
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1e.jpg
But a little angle in the pic shows the lines, WICKED!!!
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1m.jpg
A node convention here, this this will take some abuse;
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1k.jpg
I elected to figure out the subframe drops due to the longer wheelbase, it's easier to figure out when components are in.
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1i.jpg
A nice attitude shot;
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1j.jpg

For the folks that reply.....this is a Vendor's thread, please keep on topic. This is not a build up thread.
A build thread will start in Gen4x4 soon.
This MG1 will run 42" IROKs with a wheelbase no shorter that 121", a little longer for rear steer. 53" wide and 163" long chassis, built to use a cruiser hood nicely.

And Ryan's the man :beer:

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

nice pics mang... :D

[Toploader]

Wow....that looks bad-ass. Nice work Ryan, and congrates Doug!

I might have to trash my plans afterall and pimp one of those.

Ryan, could a big block fit in between those front rails? :idea:

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

yup a bb will fit :smokin:

[Flatty]

I helped Doug unload this thing, and I gotta say this is one BAD ASS rig. I will be oredering mine in oct when I get back from my honeymoon. Damn, I can't wait.

Very light considering Doug and myself carried it ourselves.

Dima

[ScoutsHonor]

Price on the four-seater??? PM Plz.

[popafink]

i want a praice to and will it fit a big block

[JeepinDoug]

and the next 2 fourseaters are 1500$

comawn :D

And the 4 seater is light enough to get on a dollie by yourself, :grinpimp:
http://www.crawltech.com/albums/album170/MG1_0n_dollie_a.jpg

Doug, where is teh link for the build up? I am gonna miss the CJ, but I think you will build a kick ass rig. What are the specs??

[geberhard]

Doug,

Use photobucket.com free and easy :)

Gui

[pmurf1]

That's a pretty cool looking chassis, good price too. Just one thing from building a couple and from a hot ass AZ guys' standpoint who might consider buying one. How would you cover that roof? We usually do a flat piece of aluminum, bent down to follow the lines of the "windsheild", but those angles would make that really hard. Canvas top would be tough too, not to mention it would be ripped to shreds the first time through Twisted. Just curious how someone would shade a bald head. The only way I could see would be seperate panels for each opening?

[JeepinDoug]

Doug,

Use photobucket.com free and easy :)

Gui

And also unreliable for hot-linking. I have space at CrawlTech and they've merged with PSC. They're revamping the website. You could see my pics are still loading but I just can't access to upload new pics.
Not a big deal, there hasn't been alot of progress yet.
Ryan has a few pics of mine in his Malvado page, WickedFabrication.com

As for the roof, a vinyl bikini top would be simple. Painted Poly or recessed skins would be easy also.
The easiest....................................a hat. :flipoff2:

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

when i do mine im ganna run seperate aluminum panels in between the tubing...damnt cant wait to build mine... :(

[Booger Weldz]

any pix with an fj hood and some tires next to the chassis(to see what it looks like assembled). wondering how a 22re and dual cases would work under there? (4seater)

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

ill get on that asap....the 2 seater is pretty light....with that running gear depending on axles you can get it under 3500 ..under 4000 easy

[Booger Weldz]

ive got toyota axles by diamond(FROR) and would run 39.5 iroks, whats that chassis weigh bare and how much could i save if its wasnt welded out and i picked it up? thanks ryan

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

weight .....a guess is 400lbs,2 people can pick it up pretty easily. 395s would be cool for it imho...

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Hey Ryan since we're going to be close to even after this x-mas list you just sent me send me an e-mail with your addy approx dimensions and I assume the weight is around 400lbs? I will quote some trucking outfits to pick this up and bring it to me. Also no big rush give me an approx date you can have it ready to go, unless it already is? Let me know thanks for all your help. Shawn

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

its ready to go....my shop zip is 95054...anywhere somewhat close i can drop it off...

[geberhard]

Doug where are the pics? I use photobucket but so far not unreliable :) Crawltech has been out :) Post up am curious! Ryan's 4 seater chassis is getting very tempting!!!

Gui

[Greatlakeoffroad]

You mean to tell me there are guys willing to pay this kind of money for this junk? :flipoff2:














Ok, so mines done sounds good! Ryan any idea on size? :cool2:

Doug Ryan gave you a killer deal help him out with some pics

I have four or five random online photo albums I never use anymore because they are unreliable. CrawlTech is always reliable, atleast was. I'll be starting the write up next week hopefully when CrawlTech's new site is up.
A teaser for the MG1's specs;
Chevy 350 TBI
TH400VP (variable pitch converter, poor man's 6 speed)
Fully pimped Dana 300 (HDs and 4.1)
Dana 60 front
Dana 70 steering rear (open knuckle w/60 outters)
Full hydro (obviously)
18" SAW/ASs

One crucial component is slowing me down, the rear axle. If I can't nail down this axle I have an idea for another steering rear.
Here's an attached pic;
Engine and trans (2wd still) in for location purposes.
And have I said how much I love my chassis dolly?

The build thread has begun (In my sig)

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Just so everyone knows, I just priced FEDEX Freight from Ryans shop to NE Indiana and they quoted me $340.00 basically this is alot less than what he thought or I thought it would be. So now some of you may be able to buy this awesome chassis.

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

Ttt :d

[Greatlakeoffroad]

you need bumped

[EricT]

pmd ya both...

we have one 2 seater ready to go for 1200$

and the next 2 fourseaters are 1500$

comawn :D

Just happened to stumble onto this thread.Any of these prices still good?

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Will be contacting you early next week to get this shipped. Thanks Shawn

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Ryan, tried calling your machine is full so I couldn't leave a message, must mean you had alot of inquries on this chassis. Anyhow take a look at the e-mail shooting for a Monday Tuesday pickup from the freight company. There will be a write up on a propane fueled 496 stroker/TH400/60/70 not sure on t-case ( possible klune-v/205 ) to follow down the road. Thanks Shawn

[JeepinDoug]

In the Malvado chassis? Saweet! We've got an ongoing trend with TH400/60/70 combos in the WF tube.


Bump

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Well, I've got several 14 bolts laying around but the maximum gearing was my main concern at 5.13's I have the one D-70 and just thought that seemed like the better axle overall for my build. Up front I'm going to put together a Ford HP D-60 passenger side instead of the regular drivers side pinion setup. I may contact Ryan to get some of those Deadenbear knuckles and inner c's for that portion of the build. I have also been watching your write up Doug but didn't realize you were utilizing the D-60 and 70 axles. What can we say Doug were "trend setters"! :)

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Ah, I see now your doing a trick rear steer also, that will be killer.

[Hendo]

what kind of prices are we looking at /and does it inclued the mounting tabs for the links?will they be painted?

[Greatlakeoffroad]

actually it was $147.50 to my dock after Fed-Fu** screwed us around :mad3: I found an alternative route for the shipping :flipoff2: . I assume this shipped also? By the way, I if this arrives by Friday I'm going to try and show it off to a couple of guys I sponsor :D Need to see what kind of deal I can negotiate for them if they are interested? Do you do sponsorships? Call me we'll talk it over. Thanks Shawn





price is 1200 for a 2 seater...
no link mounts/paint etc.

shawn at greatlakes found shipping fron santa clara to indiana for under 200$

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

143....smokin deal....they came and picked it up yesterday around 4 pm or so.i have the tracking info at the shop...

call ya...ummmm sometime manana..i mean today..?????damn im going to bed..

[sucmah]

How about a Big block ford in there?? Will it fit? Thanks.

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

im pretty sure it will fit ....the inside to inside diminsion is 27.5

[sucmah]

Cool, all of the 385 series motors are 27. Tight but anything is doable.
Thanks for the reply.

Where is that 27.5 meas. taken from? In the pics it looks like the front hoops are angled out a little bit.

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

the inside of the main frame tubes...at the bottom of the front shock hoops...

[sucmah]

do the hoops angle out?

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

yup

[sucmah]

Ok Ryan,

Money's sent. Do I need to call those guys across the street or can you yak at em for me. You know better than I do what the dimensions and weights are. Thanks for your time.

Ben

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Make sure you tell them class 50 ltl shipment 400 lbs and jew them for a 70% discount as this is not out of line for them. Thanks Shawn

[sucmah]

whats a class 50 ltl shippment? My shippment is going to be 800lbs

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Can't remeber what LTL stands for but basically it means not a full load or basically its just a partial load. Freight is catagorized by classes (there is a standardized book that describes the classes just don't remeber what it is called either) basically the higher the number the more likely it is to get damaged lower the number the less amount of insurance can be put on it for damage claims. Class 50 is low and cheap because it is usually steel welded parts or generic heavy steel goods. Just act like you know what your talking about tell them its 800 lbs how many skids size usually is not a factor and that it is class 50 LTL now your talking there lingo and good to go for getting a descent quote. Also tell them it is freight collect means you will pay for it when you get it delivered unless you have an account, bill of lading is a tag Ryan will put on the package when he ships it. That should about cover it. Thanks Shawn




whats a class 50 ltl shippment? My shippment is going to be 800lbs

[sucmah]

Thanks for the info. Im working on a expiditor that makes empty runs up from cali. Well see.

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Yeah if you could find someone dead heading back that would be the ticket, drivers of these outfits would be the ones to deal with direct amazing what a little cash can get you. Thanks Shawn

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

shawn ya get it yet?

[Greatlakeoffroad]

Just got it home in the back of my PSD ate supper and haven't had time to unload it. Now I am going to my other shop to make room for the antique tractors I have to relocate so I can start on this build. Will post pics shortly, by the way I have said this before but the quality of work from the vendors here is top notch. Thanks Shawn

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

Ttt

[Greatlakeoffroad]

OK, valuables/junk moved and or thrown out. Have not touched the chassis since I unloaded it on Monday. However I did get four adjustable chassis stands built tonight and will lift it into place and level it up tommorrow. So I should be able to start my build post this weekend. going to start by gusseting the bare chassis and maybe putting in a temporary sheet of diamond tread for the floor boards so I can start the mock up process.

[Hendo]

ryan if you got a four seater at about 115 wb that can handle 18 travel xhox and 37 to 42 tires for that price i want one,for sure email me neil

[71RCKCRZR RYAN]

ok i will post this here because its good info...

to be cumfy.....the four seater needs to be an estimated 125-130" wb. any shorter the rear passengers will be cramped. i can make a chassis to any spec but the main charactoristics sp? of the chassis will remain the same. from the two seater to the 4 seate from the b pillar up is all teh same. the fourseater gets lengthened on the sliders 24" and the rear horizontal hoop is also 24 longer.

emailed ya

[sknydwn]

Sick chassis!
pm me a price on a 2 seater with the bent door bars and not the striaght ones.

Butch, I must tell you this is a first class built chassis. If you have any questions or Ryan needs a reference don't hesitate to contact me as I am building one of the two seaters as we speak. On another note I will be sending your ring and the check out tommorrow. If you need any help getting your chassis shipped let me know Ryan also knows I have the hook up on that. Thanks again. Shawn
