Starting a new project today.
 
Those that know me know that I like to build cars. I have built 10 cars from scratch in the last 8 years. I like the suspension and drivetrain in the 1997 and up Corvettes, so I have used these parts in my cars.
I can't afford to keep all that I build so I sell some of them after completed. But, I have kept my C5 based Cobra which I drive alot. And, I have a car of my own design which I call my Speedster which is almost done. (I will be selling this one) It is having the interior installed today!
I get bored easily so today I am starting a new project. I am using a chassis of my own design with the complete drivetrain, suspension from a C6 Z06 Vette. Imagine the performance of a C6 Z06 Vette that weighs only 1900lbs! That is the goal. The body will look like the 1958 Lister, but because I am big and fat it will be larger than the car was in 58. I have researched the Lister and it looks like none of them were exactly the same. So, I feel OK with taking some liberties with the design. It's always fun and alot of work to build, but always a blast too!
To those that are building their own cars, have fun!!

As usual John I expect something spectacular when you are finished. Provide us pictures as you go. Some of us can feed off of your ideas for our own projects.
