We decided the way to go was with an after market chassis, so we called Roadster Shop and had one sent out to us. Man that thing is a work of art! This car is going to go way beyond what I ever thought it would be, I had only dreamed about this.

What are you doing for a drivetrain? Another big block or something else?

The body looks like a pretty good starting point.
