These shots show the chassis welded up. There are a lot of additional braces that have been fitted … but not welded on YET, only to make it easier to work on.

Once the car is finished, then you’d weld in the door bars & final engine bay braces

Take into account how far back the main hoop in this car is.

The driver & passenger sit behind the B-post.

The body shell is only sitting on the chassis for mock up purposes. It is not mounted.

The rear fender openings were made too big (drag tires) so factory 57 Chevy rear fenders need to be grafted in.

The front tire openings are too low (drag racing again) & need to be raised up significantly.


This is a 9/10 scale 57 Chevy race body. It is LIGHT. The entire body weighs 150#. Nothing is mounted.

Wheelbase: 108”
Height: 48”
Width: 67”

It is too narrow to run 315s & run autocross. Body would have to widened to do that. I planned to keep it narrow to do well at Goodguys AX events.

This is my good friend, Miss Playboy February 2007, Heather Rene Smith posing for marketing photos. Believe it or not, she wrenches & welds. But she’s not a car girl. She’s a truck girl.

I only have the street cruiser/show tires & wheels for the car that you see here to the right.

Fronts are 285-18’s BEHIND Heather.
Rears are 345-20’s that Heather is leaning on.

This is the rendering I had done to show the car finished with aero splitter,
Side splitters & low angle rear wing.
These are the street/show tires.

At the time, I planned to run 285s all way around for autocross & 305s for track. Since then, tire size availability has shrunken. The only good autocross tires are 275, 315 & 335.
