Well Tom Hanna called me about a year ago it seems and said some guy from England really wanted these transaxles for parts. Apparently there are a few very weak links in these transaxles and the parts supply is nonexistent. So that guy wanted to trade us 2 transaxles from the Ford GT ( I forget what he called them at 6:30am. I SAID HECK YEAH. And never put another thought into them. Tom was interested in the trade also but I have not heard anything further. They are still in the back room.

It's probably good I did nothing because they apparently are just a pile of junk.

I would love to do a Custom built GTM. I have always had a dream of developing my own Super car. Design everything from the body to the chassis to the entire computer system. Just like a real super car manufacturer. I love the Pagani Zonda stuff. That car is my inspiration.

I had thoughts of doing a highly modfied GTM as well. Until I tried to sit in one! It suddenly went from highly modified to build my own. Wow, they say a 6'-3" guy will fit I'm 6'-4" and missed by a mile. You ain't getting in it buddy. Let me know when you start the development of the ISK Supercar, I'll help with the design work!

For a $20k kit I could definitely see myself putting one together way down the road but I definitely need to see one done before I drop that kind of dough.

Wonder how everything lines up body wise by the time it's all said and done.

We've all seen newer Vette chassis and motors on the market from Cleveland so its definitely doable from a budget stand point for someone like me meaning doing all the work in my garage and not have to be paying for too much fab work.

Figure $20k for the kit, give or take around $10k for a rolling Vette chassis and motor, Tire's and wheels, and then paint and interior.

I think it's possible to put together a decent little driver for under $50K.

I'm thinking my trophy truck or class one buggy will come before the Supercar.

But I have to have enough projects for a lifetime, RIGHT?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ My buddy use to run Class 9 and 11 buggies with SODA and CORR in Michigan and Wisconsin years ago. That was big money and didn't come close to the trucks or class one buggies.

I dabbled in off road locally. I got rid of this a year or so ago. It was a blast though!



They are not the ones he raced years back, but his cars are the 981 and 915 in the back ground. Everyone should try off-road at least once!
