Here’s the transaxle mounted. I was surprised with how little we needed to remove to fit it. It will make a nice arm rest I think. The shifter rod will be very short and the torque tube will only be about 1 foot long so you will have killer weight distribution. We’re double checking all of our wheel bases, pinion angles and the approximant bump steer front and back before we do any more to the frame. We are also going to look into a radiator and fuel cell soon so we can get the front and rear mounts and functional jack hooks front and back set up. And a C5 Corvette seat for
fasterpatrick













This is the tunnel we re built using the old political signs. They are poly-ethylene and fiberglass resin won’t stick to them and they are free 10 days after the elections  (hint-hint) that and clear packing tape and you can make custom fiberglass pieces to fin anything. We will be fiber glassing the tunnel and the inner cockpit in the morning and the rear inner trunk in the next day so look for more photo’s then.



This is the LS1, T56 Trans painted old school metal flake silver and the red thing is the plastic intake I’m very proud of it’s my third candy paint job, and I think that the photo does it no justice at all. These are for our 32 Ford Roadster with C4 Corvette suspension like Ital-cobra’s ride. We’ll be running around in it in 2-3 weeks. Painting a aluminum motor is the only way to go its low maintenance and looks great and WHEN it gets dirty wash it with a hose. (I hate Chrome and Polished Aluminum I don’t mind stainless in the right place where it helps accent pieces or helps the actual performance of the car, but that’s just me. Dad and I butt heads a lot here)







Ital-cobra that frame looks beefy as hell, I’ll bet it just squats and goes. Who did the original frame and who did the mod?
