Man, That is a clean car! Northerners and Back Easters must be drooling.

With so many choices of Subframes on the market already, What is your end result going to be with yours?

I vote for the SBC. The LS is an awesome powertrain but its still way out of the reach for the average joe.

Chris, you guys do great work and come up with some trick pieces.

One observation was on your subframe and rear clip the seams on the steel are in random places, not all to the inside or outside. If someone were to buy one of your subframes and just wanted to paint and install the seams would be noticeable. Alot of grinding and bodywork would be needed to hide the seams. I would just put all of the seams to the inside, may cost you a little more tubing but in the end I think look better. Just my .02

That was a detail that got by on me with a few others.. but this is not a car that will have alot of detail.. It is my test car.. The front sub has been a pain to fabricate... We are looking at ways to optimize for the others I need to build...
