Hi Clois, I wish I had the funds to build a car with one of Schawartz's 1000hp motors! My new Cobra only has 400hp. But it gets 30mpg! Maybe you could add a fuel economy run to Run n Gun! I am almost done with the Cobra. It goes to paint tomorrow. I also have NEW photos of my Hot Rod that uses the Cobra chassis on my web site. www.chesnutmotorsports.com. These are new since my last posting.
Also, the final version of the chassis which I will post pictures of soon is a steel space frame with a welded in "Torque Tunnel" (my terminology) with aluminum skins. It weighs 300lbs and is strong and stiff. With the C5/6 vette suspension, brakes, steering, and diff I am going for great balance and handling. We will see soon if it works the way that I hope.
I look forward to seeing you all in Oct. John
