John Kernan's DSR chassis shop segment

[Rat]

Here

As always from John, wonderful work. Just poses a question to me as I know a FC chassis is usually front halved at 120 runs and retired at 350. I never hear any info about Front and back halving a TF chassis. What timeline is that? Of course I know that wheelstands and the related may alter the timeline.

I think all the T/F and F/C teams make their own chassis now. Are there still chassis shops that make these cars?

I believe McKinney still does.

Also Morgan Lucas’ fab shop, where Richie Crampton works.

Thanks! I remember when you had your choice of chassis makers & they were all pretty good. It's interesting to me how the teams make their own. The fabricators have a lot of knowledge about how a chassis works.
