With performance and handling being one of the top priorities of this build we called our friends at The Roadster Shop to have a custom chassis built. We told them we wanted to run a 335/30/18 in the rear and a 265/35/18 up front and they quickly went to work. The car was torn apart media blasted and mounted to the frame table to be cut apart. Once the body was mounted to the chassis it was time for the sheet metal work to begin. The floors, trans tunnel firewall and wheel tubs were fabbed,installed and it was time to pull it off to table and set it on the earth for the first time to get a look at its killer stance. We massaged the bumpers so they fit tight to the body.

Power will come from a Ultimate LS7 built by Thomson Racing Engines making 650 Horsepower... The engine will be mated to a Tremec six speed .Stopping power comes from Wilwood six piston calipers and slotted 13" rotors. Wheels are Billet Specialties Throttle 18x12 rear and 18x9 front.

We are very anxious to have this car out this year tearing up the autocross tracks and competing at the Optima Street Challenge. Stay tuned for more pics and info as we go..

Update!!  We have done a bunch of new fabrication work to the car.. We fabbed center consoles for the front and rear, stretched the front wheel openings for increased tire clearance, fabbed speaker housings and grills and many more custom touches...  Keep checking back!
