Re: Got a GTreproductions Chassis today......

I got some time finally to get more on the Chassis done. I finished the motor and trans mounts useing the motor mounts in front, the adapter plate and the tail end of the trans. All solid mount but I am not looking for comfort. I also got the rack that I needed from Chris at GTReproductions. It took some time for the manufacture to get them to him but was worth the wait. I almost got to antsy and tried to locate one myself and was headed down the wrong road but after talking to Fran at RCR he set me straight and saved me making mistakes.
I got the Roll cage in and mocked up the Porsche 911 roof line. I am headed towards a 911 GT1 center drive look but a little scaled down since they are normally huge in my opinion.
I have some Z06 wheels for it but 10.5" just will not do. I am making up new centers for the HRE wheels that I have with so they fit and have the correct offset for the C5 suspension. I was about $800 per wheel for new HRE centers and only $600 for 4 slugs of aluminum and I have some open machine time comming up so it looks like I have some work.
I am going to run the headers forward and do a turn out to the side in front of the rear wheel. I like the layout and every little weight shift forward will help
