How is the body mounted to the chassis? solid mount? The chassis seems to not have much triangluation built into it? Is the chassis torsion tested? If a chassis guy can jump in here, im doing design research at the moment and this design seems to be odd...... I mite be totally wrong.........

Anyone have an opinion?

SO what size tires you putting on this beast

Nice project. This is my favorite Nova body style. Looking forward to seeing more.

Schwartz Extreme Performance has been designing and building custom chassis for quite a while now, I've seen the results and they're actually better than what you would expect, in this case, this Nova's chassis seems to be a street variant of a competition spec chassis. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this chassis and other models built by them had been tested before, so I think they can guarantee full quality.

I'm sure its a good design if it is bolted to the car solidly, then the body would act as trianagulation, I'm sure this is the case just wondering if the guys can clear this up please??
