Shelby Scarab Project

That looks like a beautiful car. So many questions I'm not sure where to start! Scratch build? Looks like aluminum? Who did the body? Scratch built chassis as well? Where did the plans come from? Power? Suspension? Who did all the work? Etc...

Thanks 767Jockey,

The car is built by Scarab Motorsports in KS. The aluminum body is made in Poland using a similar stretch forming process as Kirkham.

The chassis is the original style space frame and is 128lbs.

Suspension is like the original as well, coil over springs and shocks all around, A arms up front and DeDion axle/Quickchange diff at the back.

Wilwood disc brakes are used, outboard front / inboard rear.

Engine is a Blue Print SBC 350, 390hp with an 8-stack Hilborn EFI unit.

Cheers

Those folks build a great Scarab. I had this one for seven years and put 2,000 miles on it. I sold it two years ago and miss it.

Keep the pictures coming. You will have a blast with this car.
