I got no idea Deano......Probably a question for Wazza. I got a feeling they might be retro fit to fibreglass cars. I think there are some chassis differences in regards to uprights being billet....I would have to go back and read the emails.

Mmm unpolished aluminium - patina.

Sounds like a car I know.

Not at all Dave. LJ was suggesting the same thing to me the other day actually. Good idea.

Also, all the Paces have billet uprights. But yours is still very special :-)

I think they do have the same basic chassis, Dean, yes. I asked that question too!

Just quickly...

Yes...it's basically the same chassis, PLUS a unique support frame that's been designed for the ALUMINA body.

More info coming soon...

It's all very exciting, and should be a fantastic product.

(Gotta get back to "work")

Cheers,
Warren

Nah! Not at all.
Pink maybe, but not satin black.

If you've got it, you don't need to flaunt it. Satin black is good.

....some, however, might feel the need - for whatever reason - to flaunt it. In pink.

Black chassis, leave the billet everything else as it is.

Use all black and silver connectors with gold zinc nuts and bolts and a satin body. This is going to be a stunning project to follow.

Had to share....I got a great laugh checking out the latest pics from Pace. My mindset exactly.....Well done Fellas and thats staying...nothing like a bit of character and a story for the future.....

Chassis progress looks good and seems nearly there. Welding looks sweet and I am now thinking it might not be a good idea to cover such niceness......
