emphasis on Had.

the car was sitting untouched for more than 5 years. i decided with a few more years of experience under my belt that I could do a better job building the car i really wanted, and make it something that would handle better. the chassis i first built was "ok" and would work. but it wasn't that nice, and was obviously put together as a compromise and without a plan from the beginning. time for a new plan.

i started working on it in november. bought a clapped out 84 corvette for parts and started in a new direction. this is what we have now.
a full tube chassis with corvette front and rear IRS suspension. setting up for coil overs on all 4 corners.

i'm almost done with the coil over mounts, then i can get to setting an engine in it.

Nice!!! Looks like you have made some huge improvements.

rebuilt the front suspension with new bushings and whatnot, test fit a coil over to make sure everything is in the right place.

Looks awesome. You are doing some nice work.

Looking good!! You did a lot of work. Nice!

Looking great. You get her running?

i wish, nowhere near running yet... lol. just fit engine in for mock up and mounts and stuff.
it's still just a bare frame with a body sitting on it, no floors in it or anything.

looks good thus far!

still plugging along... chassis is nearly finished, need to mount the fuel cell, tear everything down, and add a few more bars before chassis paint.
