I build what our customers want. I do agree with you, a bigger motor would be more fun. I'm building the chassis so it will be able to accommodate an LS and Atlas for furture upgrades.

This is the platform the fuel cell will sit on. The tube under it is for the rear anti-sway bar.

Here is the 2 seat design weve been building. I have one I will be starting in a few weeks, LS1, Atlas 4.3 2 speed, built turbo 350 reverse manual valve body, King 2"x16" coilovers, King 2.5"x16" triple bypass shocks, King 2" bump stops, Griffin radiator, trans cools, PS cooler all with Spal fans and PSC full hydro steering. Not sure on the axles yet.

Thanks, this project has been pulled from the chassis table and is now sitting on stands. I will post a few update pictures but as of right now its on hold for a few weeks. The customer is saving up for more parts that I need before I can go any further. I have an LS1 build with a 2" chassis being stated on the table now. Im going to be building two of these chassis at the same time, should be fun.
