Thank you for the great reply. Yes, I have talked with Bob McKee and my chassis is the lost Mk1 Chevette that finished 3rd behind Hall and Penske in the Chaparrals one race. Naturally it needs a one off aluminum body and I am figuring what to do with the cars restoration.
I am finishing a big sponsor deal that will send me to Europe to race F3 and train for F1. If it goes through I will have the money to have the car restored to original form. If it falls through, I may do a mechanical restoration with the Lola body my self so I have something to run this year.
What do you know about my car's history with the Lola body? The darn thing has air-con and late 70's early 80's gauges in it, but what kind of street car would you have with a McKee treanaxle sans reverse? It is an odd ball, but at least the Lola body fits decently and would make an atractive car if gone through.
