I just saw these threads. Congratulations on a really cool car!
The history of the cars is the movie people called up and asked us if they could have 2 cars delivered to them within a week
They were on a very tight time schedule and had to have the cars so they could be painted and ready for the shoot in a couple of weeks or so.
I told them the only way it would be possible to deliver the cars on that time schedule was if we sent them suspension components that were completely unsuitable for any use beyond a static movie display. They readily agreed as they were going to crush the car in the shoot. They even wanted us to cut the chassis apart and put a solid axle in the car to make it cheaper. I told them we could get the cars to roll for their shoot with parts we had here and that would be much easier than cutting things apart.
As such, there are no parts on the car that can be used beyond the frame and body. Even the seats had flaws in them.
Nevertheless, with a new suspension and some other parts you will have a great ride.
Please let me know how we can help!
