Coast Chassis Ultimate Outlaws 10.5: The Supercharged Mercedes Benz SL55
8-6-2011 | Author: goDragRacing.org
 Not often does a webmaster have a chance to meet his customers, usually web design is done through e mails or over the phone and hoping they get the right website for their needs. Not in the case of this one. I have been a friend of Coast Chassis owners for a long time and being they have been in New Jersey as Chassis builders we have met quite a few times and have been a part of racing on the east cost for many years.
I had the chance to come to the Pritchett Controls Ultimate Outlaws Shootout at Cecil County on July 9th of 2011 to again meet up with my customers as a guest of my good friends in this sponsored environment as they also brought the bad supercharged Coast Chassis flagship 2006 Mercedes Benz AMG SL55 Outlaw 10.5 car up with them for some testing shots. Being a guest made no difference to the Coast Chassis team as their pits were packed with friends and family enjoying this fine weekend as a large group they made sure everyone was made comfortable, fed well by this awesome group of ladies that cooked up some homemade food for us to fill our stomachs throughout the race day; I immediately was a part of this fine group.
Finally able to see the Mercedes Benz in action and see the craftsmanship I have seen from their other cars out there, this one tops them all. A true 2006 Mercedes Benz AMG SL55 with a custom chassis under it but in reality it's a full car not the carbon fiber look alikes, this ones doors opened and closed like a new Mercedes Benz SL Class would.
The stock Mercedes-AMG body is filled with a supercharged Hemi V8 making tons more power than the original "5.5L supercharged 24-valve V8 engine with 493 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque made" had only a few passes since its build out of the Coast Chassis Shop. The weekend racing took its toll on the team as a broken converter made them jump to one untried unit that sent the car into wheel spin off the hit.
 Later in the day the Mercedes Benz AMG SL55 suffered a slice in the rear tire and the team decided not to finish racing with this combination and trying to get a baseline on it when surely it wasn't using what they wanted in the right parts area.
Back at the camp, Team Coast Chassis kept an eye on their sponsored Outlaw 10.5 Class as TJ Kasper caught Jason Enos sleeping on the tree for a holeshot win in this session of the race which had 26 cars involved and many more classes. So to end this thank you to Tim, Pete and Denny I submit for you some images of this awesome race and their own Mercedes Benz AMG SL55 Outlaw 10.5 machine.

Coast Chassis As Seen In Super Chevy Magazine

 This month's story about the fabrication of a custom rollcage for our Project Unfair Camaro (from Prodigy Customs and II Much Fabrication) comes from a new location. Coast Chassis Design (CCD) is a chassis shop located at 511 Pullman Road, Unit B-1, Edgewater, FL. 32132, about 40 miles from the author's shop. John Parsons and Frank Serafine of Prodigy Customs opted to have the folks at Coast Chassis do the rollcage from scratch rather than do it themselves or buy a rollcage kit. We'll let John explain why.

Frank and I have been asked numerous times why we decided to have CCD build and install our rollcage. We've both installed cages before, both separately and working together. And that's the point. We know our limitations, which include our tools and the inevitable compromises of a kit. We also wanted to keep the cage as light as possible and that means using 4130 steel (often called chromoly). Indeed, 4130 is about 30 percent stronger than ordinary mild steel, which means you can use thinner wall tube, reducing weight. However, welding 4130 requires high-quality tube fits with zero gaps so the welds can be kept small to minimize the HAZ (heat-affected zone).
CCD likes to use "Illustration Board," available at your local fine arts store, for templates. It closely emulates 1/8-inch steel (way better than cardboard).
So with all that in mind, we approached Coast Chassis Design to see if it would be interested in building a rollcage for Unfair that satisfied both NHRA and NASA (road racing) requirements. We met with Pete Bonafide and Tim Christ (co-owners of CCD) to see if they were interested.
All it took was to have a look around at their unbelievable shop and we were hooked. TIG welders, tube benders, lathes, mills, iron workers, bandsaws, tube notchers, sheetmetal brakes, and bead rollers were all on full display. The shop was spotless, and several chassis were in various stages of completion. In the middle of the shop was their latest 10.5 tire/6-second bad-boy Mercedes AMG featuring a full-tube chassis, Funny Car engine, and more tricks than Madonna. Pete and Tim were intrigued by our 8-second drag strip requirement, along with streetability and our road-racing goals. They've built many cages over the years, and ours was a simple one in their book.
