Default Photos of BDR chassis, anyone?

Does anyone have any photos of the current BDR chassis? Would you mind posting them, so I can see what it's like? I can't find much detail on their website.

Thanks.

What specificaly are you looking for?
It is a square tube frame with BMW 3 series lower control arms in the rear.
Has a BMW IRS out back and struts up front with adjustable coil overs.

Basically I would like to see how the BDR chassis compares with other kits, so I'm looking for some good overall and detail photos.

I've got the green light from the wife to buy a Cobra and am doing my research now. D&D Cobra in Quebec sells his own car as well as the BDR. He's got some great build-up shots of his own chassis on this forum, but I can't find much on the BDR.

Would really appreciate any photos from owners - or from BDR themselves for that matter - could post.

You won't find any shots of the Backdraft like that because the Backdraft isn't a kit. It's only sold as a complete car minus engine and trans, like a Superformance.

Well if your retailer does both then I have him put his and a BDR on the lift side by side and compare the two. That would be the best way, I don't see why a reputable dealer would have an issue especialy if he sells both.

The suspension on the right is our chassis for our new line of cars, Noble!!! Just kidding. I believe they mentioned the cross front to see if it added to strength. This was sometime ago, like 3 years. Backdraft are always trying to improve our cars.
