Thank you guys for the support and encouraging words. We are trying to do the no-comprimise effort on doing the C5 chassis with 50/50. We did all the items Frank thought about, like the 6-1/2" engine setback into the firewall, making the pedal assembly an interesting problem, the use of full fabricated perimeter frame that makes use of the F/R aluminum cradles so we wouldn't change the susension geometry at all, you know, stuff like that. Last few issues to resolve are to widen the rear 1/4 panels, and re-work the innder frame rails.
The way I see 50/50 emerging is- late to the party, but still years ahead in terms of build quality and creativity. We have to test my car out on the track, it was meant to drive the twisted roads of Laguna Seca, and tear up the Pony Express.
I hope to have some updates of us moving along with the car after SEMA.
