As an engineer, I’m impressed with the level of design/development you guys are capable of for the prices you offer these setups. Most designers with this capability would be designing on a custom-only T&M basis for stuff this involved. Naturally that’d be for top 1% clients only, but somehow this stuff is accessible to mid-career professionals with a car hobby. Props to your team.
I designed and built a offroad suspension almost identical to this 8years ago and competed with it throughout the united states. Competed in Top Truck in California in 2015 and came out the champion with that suspension. It had 16" of travel and that cantilever design is unreal how it reacts and creates almost no body roll. Look it up
@@maristoldboys5466 I've had it for many years and after rebuilding the engine and transmission myself many times to squeeze as much as I could get out of it I got tired of the oe setup and decided to swap out the old engine and tranny combo for a 5.0 from a 94 gt.I added a rod and custom coil over kit with rack and disk brakes. I have a cobra irs to add to the rear. This was in my late 20s and then the kids came along and the car is now on the back burner .Classic old car story there for ya... 😆. I'll finish it some day for sure though.
I would love to place any of Roadster Shop frames under my dad's old f100 or my 70 Mustang I drove in high school. Life has not permit this with family and time commitments. But for sure im a huge fan of their work.

Man, that looks amazing...and amazingly expensive. You'd think that everything would be assembled with non-locking hex nuts as it's all going to be blown apart for paint/powder coating.
That rear suspension looks suspiciously similar to Mike Maier’s pushrod rear suspension he came up with like 10 years ago…Only they’re actuating control arms instead of a live axle. I’m sure it’s different enough to not be a patent infringement if Mike even patented the design, but jeez Louise, the similarities are kind of hard to miss.
Pull/push-rod suspension or cantilever suspension has been around for decades. Nothing 'new' or patented. Check out some of the early-mid-70's Gordon Murray F1 cars for Brabham. This setup you see here is actually a version based on our IRS cantilever setup we build for 'RAMPAGE' back in 2012.
RoadsterShop is right dude.....this suspension setup predates Maier's incarnation....which he himself (Maier) basically copied from some stuff in the 50's. There's only so many ways to do it, ya know?
Honest question. With the development of these fine chassis and suspension, along with other aftermarket upgrades such as brakes and new sheetmetal body panels available. Is it still necessary/cost effective to start with an actual original mustang?
is this is a custom one off ladder frame chassis & suspension modification for the classic Mustang . . . more videos of vehicles that are actually being built by Roadster Shop, than your podcasts would be much appreciated . . . if I'm correct you make bespoke ladder frame chassis for classic body-on-frame vehicles from the yester years . . . please advise . . .
Do you have to use the cantilever setup for the IRS on the 69-70 Mustang, Reason being won't that put the shocks in the trunk, Which would be no buono for me as I want maximize the trunk space But would still like to run an IRS. Planning on doing a 70 Mustang styled like a Boss 429 with a supercharged coyote engine
I was wondering the same thing . Hopefull that this may have been a Dry Run Fit Up First ??? Couldn't Imagine that these Super Clever Guys 👏 wouldn't hand it over 2 there customer like that. Unpainted or Powder Coated . Super Impressive Workmanship. 👌 Robert Australia 🇦🇺
When I bought my friend, I had a pair extra for the powder Jordan a lot needs to be disassembled again anyway, at least to my experience That product is what the customer paid for knowing full well eventually responsible for the final coat of there own to protect metal
@roadstershop I am having trouble and I have an opportunity for u guys. I have a 1985 k10 with a 454 with 61k og miles. I bought it when I was 15 and now I'm 19 and I have no where to restore it and I'd love to see my baby on the road as soon as possible. Could u guys help by any chance?
We do offer powder coat as an option, but often we ship raw assemblies to builders who are still working on their projects and will finish the chassis later on as the project becomes complete.
My Question 4U Gr8 Guys is u have some really serious Billet Hardware on this Build . Xcellent 😅 But why no Billet Suspension Arms Top & Bottom/Front & Rear . Other than that. 1st Class Work B+++++ 4 effort & execution. A+++++ next time ⏲️ 4 the revision on the Suspension Arms 😅😅
Did you see him fold the cotter pin over the top of the castle nut for the ball joints?? No thanks…..I’ll find some other Mfg who knows how to build the right way! 😂
That is exactly how we did it in the Air Force. If you bend the cotter pin around the circumference of the nut, you have oriented the cotter pin in its weakest direction with regard to a shear force. The correct way keeps the two leaves of the cotter pin perpendicular to the shear force. He did it the way you SHOULD be doing it.
Overkill on a futile appliance. Surely these techniques could be (are being) applied in aeronautics or F1, but catering to old rich farts so they can have a 30 min blast every year is a waste of time. Business plan wise stop it, and please focus on going to the Mars man!

Guys you make cry with this video.... Cuz in Venezuela it's almost impossible to do or create something has beautiful as this monument
Excellent comment. This makes me feel 1 step closer to my dream Mustang Coupe Recreation protouring build.
That is so impressive...the work is so clean and well designed..welds are perfect none are grinded..beautiful
🙏🙏🙏
@@RoadsterShop any link for that finished mustang? Thanks
This is the best art of engineering❤❤❤
Definitely, it’s not a Mustang anymore. Honestly, it’s a Formula One Racing Car. Great job. Thanks. Always

I have a 68 Mustang . Hopefully one day I will this done to it. This is awesome looking 👌
Best year. Coupè or fastback, may I ask?
@@maristoldboys5466 coupe

Very impressive work. In my opinion, RS is the best shop in the world. One day, I'm going to bring my C10 to you guys for some serious mods. Cheers.

Massimo from Italy . Exceptional ! A true work of art! 👍👍👍🤩🤩
This is absolutely something new 😉😉
Spectacular work
Superb craftsmanship🎉🎉.... awesome buddy 😎🤠🤠
An impressive product.
The only thing I could afford was watching this free video
CNC machining porn. This is ILLEGAL
Lmaooo
There was literally ZERO cnc machining dude. This was nothing but an assembly video.
Do the Cantilever shocks then sit on display in the trunk?
Nice work as always 👍👍
Bit of antisieze and a washer would help ??
This all comes apart again for powdercoat/paint, reassemble then torque to spec - you are watching the pre-shipping assembly. 👍
Beautiful

And isn't this the same as the rear suspension on the original Ford GT? (though this is a million times better looking!!!)
Parabéns 🎉 quero q continue os vídeos das construções das máquinas q vcs fazem agradeceria de coração
Beautiful...
They should put this in the Louvre!

can you buy just that kit?

Dang. Nice but looks so heavy
2:53 the nut spinning tells me he was working on the other side.
Is this cantilever setup race only? or can you still have a stock rear interior?

Why not Power Coat & Paint all the Steel First, then Assemble it? All that nice work will Rot Away!
Trial assembly!

Where are the cantilever parts. On your website
Do you guys sell an IRS kit i can mount to my car?
2:51 is that turning on it's own?
goodjob. 😊
Do you have to modify the floor pan?
IT'S ENOUGH TO BRING ON A WET DREAM, WELL, FOR SOME OF US ANYWAY, eh ? . 😊
SATT.

Was this inspired by the Acura nsx?
impressive engineering but why not flip the front shock absorbers, like the rear shock absorbers, the light side moves
If you can pay you can play
@roadstershop I am having trouble and I have an opportunity for u guys. I have a 1985 k10 with a 454 with 61k og miles. I bought it when I was 15 and now I'm 19 and I have no where to restore it and I'd love to see my baby on the road as soon as possible. Could u guys help by any chance?
You need sum seriously deep pockets freind
I thought the frames are powder coated before assembly?
We do offer powder coat as an option, but often we ship raw assemblies to builders who are still working on their projects and will finish the chassis later on as the project becomes complete.
Will you sell them separatly?
You name the price….. I’ll pay it…..must have one of those 48,000 dollar ford boss engines in it, 650 plus horses….
My Question 4U Gr8 Guys is u have some really serious Billet Hardware on this Build . Xcellent 😅
But why no Billet Suspension Arms Top & Bottom/Front & Rear .
Other than that. 1st Class Work B+++++ 4 effort & execution.
A+++++ next time ⏲️ 4 the revision on the Suspension Arms 😅😅
This is impressive and all, but you know it’s just going to end up in a heap by the side of the road after a Cars and Coffee event.
That’s without a turbo or super charge….
Where you added value, and over-spent, are somewhat odd.
Did you see him fold the cotter pin over the top of the castle nut for the ball joints?? No thanks…..I’ll find some other Mfg who knows how to build the right way! 😂

Correct. I'm a retired Ford, Lincoln, Mercury technician.
