How heavy is that chassis going to be? The bundle of tubing your using, I'm going to say at least twice as heavy as a typical CSX chassis.

Looks like a game of "Pick-Up-Sticks" gone horribly wrong!

I think the originals were based on 4" round tubing as the foundation of the frame.

The Heresy Cobra
Mate that looks bloody marvelous, old chap.
Dont worry about your American cousins some do tend to get a bit touchy if you go away from the original. The tube design does hide the fact u have a chevy in there Wait till they see that  Maybe the 19 inch rear rims will distract them a little longer
Have u decided what body u are going to use. Aluminium, fibreglass or carbon
Wonderful work.

thanks Bruce we would like to use carbon to keep the modern theme up but we spent too much money all ready so it will have to be fiberglass,
and thank you guys for your support there will allways be those who are stuck in the past driving cars with chassis that resembles a flopy stepladder |

That 300SL was notorious for body flex, . . . so much for Finite Stress Analysis!
