Question on Chassis class ,Jegster kit
What class would this chassis fall into? The front cross member does not come in the kit if I tied the 2x3" tube into the stock front crossmember would it pass as a back half car?

what class are you looing to run in.....?
that chassis pic would be good for most cars down to 8.50. Typical super gas 9.90 or super comp 8.90 would be ok. Bracket class down to 8.50
anything quicker would require a 25.5 spec chassis, lots more bars and funnycar cage. But 25.5 in mild steel... that all seems to be up in the air right now.
for super street or any 10.5 class, check with the lcoal rules about what you can use for the front end, and or stock floor and firewall stuff.

Unless your determind to have A brand new ride Try looking for A good Quality roller that fits your needs .There are alot of them out there for A whole lot less than you can build your Vega for . Yes some may need a little updating but when season opens back up it will be ready to go alot of time tackling a build like your planning you very well might miss the beginning of the season .
just my 2 cents Good Luck

Strong suggestion,
The first pic is for a kit or completed chassis that Jegs did as an entry into the Chassis market. It is called a Jegster. Not a good design and will not handle much power. It is ok for bracket cacing, index racing in the slower speeds, Super/Street 10.90 racing. and Super Gas 9.90 racing. For anything quicker it needs lots of diagonal bracing addded.
I am not talking about rules, I am talking about real. That chassis design has too many bars running parelell and few diagonal bars.
The second kit you posted is also good maybe for the same speeds and performance. Neither will handle much power with tires hooked.
What do you have?
What are you trying to do?
What is your total budget for car only with chassis all done?
You can buy both mild steel and chromolly that is already fittedt and welded for not a ton of money. If you can fabricate and can weld there are several kits available that are very good.
Tell us more info?

I am in Plano.
I know a few good local chassis shops. One that is very good and reasonable for his quality is in Rockwall. If you alreday have bought a Jegster and it is in the car, he can do quite a lot at making it better.
If you haven't bought anyoone's kit and are planning on buying a kit and having a chassis shop to fit and weld it all together, I will suggest to just talk with a few chassis shops about installing a pre made kit and about buinding one from scratch. You may be surprised.
Will be happy to talk with you about an engine. Best time to call is at night.

Sometimes during the day I hear the phone or can talk but usually am very busy.
