android Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I was so fed up with all the problems of trying to re-engineer GM's creation to fit my needs that I simply decided to start over... RIP Frankenvette. the re-resurrection happened yesterday 7/19/18 at 12:05PM. This is a quick clip. in the next few weeks there will be a lot more. lots of parts on this monster from you guys on the for-sale forum! injectors, wheels, catch cans, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you make the cage/frame yourself?? its a Weddle HV25. They have the best budget transaxle, half the cost of the other guys. I am not good at bending tubes, and I hired a friend to help with the core structure. I fabricated everything else, suspension, tabs, gussets, cross braces, steering, firewalls, dash, etc a quick look, you can see the C5 parts I brought over from frankenvette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
android Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 the body is going to be the last thing... just in case something needs to be re-engineered or replaced. I don't want to do fiberglass twice. Here is what I have in-mind. wrap the car in shrink wrap, then lay a couple thin layers of fiberglass over the top. This is someone else hyper-mile car, and they didn't go over 30 mph, so shrink wrap was sufficient. I plan on going a little faster than that.

SixAddict Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Wow, that work looks fantastic, can't wait to see it finished. I was lucky growing up that my dad was a great welder, he did my fab work what little there was. Good luck and keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carve big blocks of styrofoam and cover it with a giant condom. Fiberglass it and dissolve the foam with a solvent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
