I got some more inspiration last weekend at the Amelia Island Concours. They had a C3 rolling chassis which really highlighted the roll cage chassis pickup points.

Cool build. Are you just going for road race inspired or will you compete with the car?

The plan is to build the car as a street fighter with all of the safety and underpinnings for occasional track days and autocrosses. But I'm paying attention to SVRA/HSR rules, so if I get the itch again to go wheel-to-wheel racing I don't have to start completely over.

Final cut and buff is underway.

The C3 has to be the most underrated car out there for the type project you're doing. Love your project.

Cut and buff with 1,500 and then 3,000.
