I cant tell from the pictures posted on the casting changes (which is so minor)
but did you guys upgrade the zo6 MH3 to ZRI specs or is this the actual ZR1 MH3. And are you going with the different dia. half shafts depending on your final rear weight and battery placement.
Awesome concept.

We weren't lucky enough to get ZR-1 suspension but Z06 is still pretty beefy. The half shafts will be custom made with a lifetime can't break warranty from our vendor. We used them on our 69 camaro last year that was a top 5 SMOY car. We are designing battery and fuel tank next. I have a new set of scales on order to get this one right.

Thanks

Mike, what's the background on the body you're using?

We are developing a complete overall deal for the line. Our first body will incorporate both but we will have a repo deal to sell when this project is completed. Our plans call to have a completely removable floor, rollcage, and body from the chassis with a goal weight of 3000 lbs. The quality will be very good, stronger and lighter than an original car.

Thanks

Great project. I understand the difficulty of this project. We did a 66 Convertible with a tube chassis and used everything we could from a 04 Z06. The only things we didn't use were the HUD and airbags.

Cool car... It looks great. How big were the rear tires? Does the soft top still work?

What spring/shock setup are you planning to use?

We use AFCO coilovers on all of our cars. We really like them.

Thanks

BTW- I sent you a PM a couple of days ago.
Im not sure who your vendor is, but if you get a chance talk to Rodney or TJ at RPM transmissions and also look at Driveshaft Shop Inc. on the axles. The combined combination is top notch.
How did you get your hands on that supercharged LS3 and what can i ask what it set u back$$$$ I have a friend of mine whos been looking, no luck yet and he may have to start from scratch.
