Rep Power: 4  | Re: New Chassis from Southern GT\'s Watch out for the Southern GT's website which will be coming soon!
They make many of their own parts, as well as being able to source alot of other components.
Hope you all like the pics so far, I will do my best to keep you all posted on their progress.

In your first photo, is that the RBT-6 transaxle, or are they rebadging recond ZF 5 speeds?
If it is the RBT-6, please take another few pics from different angles if you get the chance.
Many thanks |

Rep Power: 7  | Re: New Chassis from Southern GT\'s Thanks John. I was hoping to see an RBT-6 going into a 40.
The spaceframe looks very neat and strong from Bud's pics, with good attention to detail.
I'm looking more information as it filters out. |
