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
Mike

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

Yes, the softtop is made from the newer cloth. the rear tires are 305/35 I believe. You can see that the rear quarters were widened. rear end was narrowed and the torque tube shortened.

I am not a fan of the wheels, but that is what the customer wanted. lol

Also the ride height is leveled up now. These pics were taken while we were still working out bugs..

It should appear in Corvette Fever sometime soon, if it hasn't already.
