My thoughts, exactly.

Bob, couple questions: Does it get hot in the car when running or is there some separator between the passengers and the motor compartment? How did you fab up the cooling system for the motor? Also is there any flex when driving?

After the c6 Camaro and now this, what could possibly be next? :D

Awesome build man. Love to see a vid! :thumbsup:

Agree 100% nothing like a stock body line well built muscle car. 20 years from now it will still in style.

Looks great, Bob! So glad you got it running. I love it.

I completely missed this thread. I love the concept, but the chassis design really has me scratching my head.

You've made some structural choices that I'm curious to hear your thoughts on.

Why is there a roll hoop made from round tubing as well as something resembling a roll hoop made from square tubing?

There are round tubes running from the front main stays to the front suspension. Why are they terminated ahead of the upper control arm and not in the upper damper mount?

Why is there a sharp bend in the rear main stays? Why do they terminate behind the rear suspension?

Just as a general comment: There seems to be very little triangulation anywhere on the chassis, especially in the space between the front and rear ends of the car. As it stands now, you're almost completely dependent on the bending stiffness of your frame members to provide rigidity. Introducing triangular structures will instead load the frame members in tension and compression, greatly increasing stiffness.

Where did you go Bob.:headscratch: This build really deserves more attention that it got on this thread. I've been waiting to see some more about it after you "got all the bugs out"

:bump: :bump:
