Thanks!

We are burried int he mechanical/assembly side right now trying to get a few cars assembled for the summer. We should have 2-3 leaving around Columbus, we should be able to get it in right after that.

Thanks, that one was probably shot from the waist with the camera in 1 hand! I get lucky every once in a while!

Thanks. The body should be pretty worth on this little 33 though.

The 55 is just a chassis install withj our new REVO IFS and some metal work. It is in the assembly stages now. I'll gather up some pictures and post them up next week.

Bill, our 2nd Gen chassis is normally built that way. This customer wanted to try to retain as much of the original floor as possible and wasn't interested in a low stance. So we did a chassis for this car that basically ran back as an extension of the sub-frame. It will still be much stronger than a subframe and connectors, and more than enough for the intentions of this car.

Here is a pic of our standard 2nd gen chassis


And the standard stance

Hopefully you will get to finish that one some day.
