Been working with a drag racer from the blog. Here is the first off for the drag racers to critique. 16 inches long, axle uprights and T-slot goes all the way through for hold downs anywhere you like. Six double rows of 1/16" holes for rail alignment for and aft of the axle and row of 1/16" holes along the length for crosspiece locating. The screw adjuster system is there for setting rear axle with the use of jig wheels, if the need is there. Reference lines at rear axle and for wheelie axle set-up.

Drag chassis. Hm. Does it have locator holes for the little stilletto heels?

I have built quite a few chassis on the jig it sure works nice for drag cars. Take a look at a few pictures.
This is a Rat Rod i did for someone I hated too hand it over to him. 
It is real good for setting up the wheely wheel's.
Another one.
A few of mine.

I have asked Rick for one of these twice, still don't have one... so I just make drag cars on my regular Ricks jig... a little more involved, but gets the job done GREAT, even on rails!!!
Also works for door cars too

It is nice to use a long jig for drag cars especially when it comes to setting up the wheelie bars.
RGO is not the only Jig around, check out this one.
Give Scott a call he is a knowledgeable and nice guy.

It would make building dragsters a lot easier. I have a couple of bodies needing chassis that I have shied away from due to the" extras " they would require. So Rick, look's like you could get rid of two of them in a hurry!

The one I posted above looks very complete with jig wheels and wire bender and all. Give Scott a call and ask.

The precision Jigs are great jigs, but they are made for specific chassis kits. The great advantage to Ricks is that you can build ANYTHING on a Ricks... wish he would follow up with this...
