I was wondering if anyone has seen this particular type of chassis configuration before, note the rear suspension setup (captions to follow):

1427 - Front view, note the missing suspension points on driver's side.
1428 - Close-up of passenger-side front suspension.
1429 - Close-up of front. Radiator pipes integrated into the spine.
1430 - Close-up of front passenger side.
1431 - Close-up of front driver's side. Note that the two front support tubes
have been removed.
1432 - Rear cradle details, any ideas?
1433 - Any ideas?
1434 - Rear view of chassis.
1435 - Close-up of engine mounting brackets.
1436 - Looking aft at the rear cradle area. Battery location indicated on
driver's side.
1437 - Front view of chassis. It appears that two supports linking the front
to the windshield area have been removed...
1439 - Front view of chassis. Note the modification on the driver's side
sponson.
1440 - Rear view.
1441 - Another view of rear suspension mounting (driver's side).
1442 - Another view of rear suspension mounting (passenger's side).
1443 - Close-up view of what I suspect is a shortened version of the
upper and lower link mounting bracket...?
1444 - Close-up of rollbar.
1446 - Dry fit of sponson on driver's side.
1447 - Dry fit of sponson on passenger's side.
1448 - Note the optimistic race stool position, vroom

1449 - Showing the modified side with the sponson.
1450 - Sponson dry fit on unmodified side.

Any suggestions, observations would be greatly appreciated. I'll go into the history into this a little later.

Regards,

Rick (F3L)
