I am sure that is meant in the nicest possible way.

Engineers cert only mentions vehicle markings are compliant in terms of chassis, steering is torana, front end is torana/HQ combo, rear end is VP LSD and rear end, engine and box are from 94 mustang, body is mentioned as GRP kit.

I am waiting to here back from the original builder as to what chassis he used, as all I can recall him saying at the time "something American or American something" and "one of the better ones going around" or words to that effect, so there is no pretense as only the steering and parts of the front end are torana, so I do not know. Maybe he was mis representing or I mis heard what he said. This is the side effect of buying a pre-built car.

If I had the time I would built from scratch, but with limited time at home, family and home comes first, cars second, so I will evolve the car instead and finish the restoration of the Mach one for the next 5 years.

When I have done my 35 years with work and retire in 14 years, I may build one then, but I can just imagine what the compliance will be like in 2027.

I like my car a lot, and am planning further improvements, so I am going to have a chat with a Eng signatory about some Skyline GTR brakes/suspension modifications and what we need to do to get this happening and certified, once I get this one baselined...before making anymore engine changes...as the braking and traction do need some attention to get into the 21st century

So...I guess there is no new news from Chromefest.
