I have alot of friends that have Hot Rods. I wanted a unique car with supercar performance but with a style that would let me go with my friends to all of the Hot Rod car shows and events. I built the all aluminum chassis to accept C5 Corvette suspension and drive train. The engine is an LS6. The tranny a Tremec 6 speed. Total weight, with body, is under 1800lbs. The body is my loose interpertation of a 23 T bucket truck. The cab roof will tilt to get in and out or is removable so I can drive it as a roadster.

I scratch built a Cobra with the same set up. This chassis has the same track and wheelbase as my Cobra. (90 inch wheelbase) I will add this car to my Cobra and Spyder. I still want to build a Daytona Coupe and GT40. Lots of ideas, lots of projects, not enough time!
