strictlypersonal Bob could an aluminium frame be built that is the same as the ERA SC one? I don't know what a carbon fiber cobra shell would cost but weight wise between fiberglass and carbon I would think a 50% savings. FFR and Super both built carbon fiber bodies. I thinking also about my heavy pindrives and rims. Should be able to knock 10-15 lbs off each wheel with a BBS. All shafts for the rearend and drive shaft go to either aluminium or carbon fiber. Rear lower control arms for the Jag rear goes to Aluminium or tube design like the IRS ford rear. Still brain farting Bob. The mega millions is just about right for the pickings. Did Jag ever make an Aluminium center housing? Catch you later RickL.
