Hey guys, thanks for checking in. The short answer is 'not yet'. Kevin and Chad still have Mike Allen's Sunbird hatchback to use as a template for parts, but the hope was (as I understand it) that a sponsor (read: paying customer) could be talked into converting that chassis into an IMSA Monza for SEMA and/or upcoming shows/competition. What they (ie. paying customer) wanted to go with instead was a C-3 Corvette, so the team there at Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle have been busy at work building that car in time for some upcoming events, to include SEMA and some races for the The Ultimate Street Car Assoc. (hopefully within the next month).
Having said that, it's still in the plans to build H-body suspension parts, and based on my last conversation with Kevin, the bolt-in 9-inch rear end would be the easiest one to tackle first. Once they're ready to commit, he'll look for a number of committed customers (I certainly will be one of them) so he can build a jig/template and build them to speck - probably sans the brakes though as everyone has different needs/wants there.
I check in with them from time to time and I'll ask him what that status of things are and get back with everyone here.
