    Superlite GTA

    I'm guessing here, but I think the templates probably need a jig built to hold it all together or need more precision in how they attach, I know it was all suppose to use existing attachment points, so maybe i'm overthinking it or that's not possible.

    Superlite GTA

    As I think about this more, and approach it with a focus purely on quality and put the concept of how much money on the side temporarily, I think there is an option for how to do this. I think it has to be sold as a roller in that context. I also think it has to be a gutted roller, no dash, no...

    Superlite GTA

    having owned an eclipse, it's a comfortable, ergonomic interior. there is absolutely no reason to bash it. You are not building an eclipse, the eclipse/talon is giving you the center section only. you get nice weather seals, OEM glass/doors windows that already roll up and down, keys that...

    this is what happens when you don't use a transaxle

    the guy sent me a message back, wheelbase is 133" here's the ebay link to the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Replica-Kit-Makes-2-door-One-Of-A-Kind-One-Off-Super-Car-Show-Stopper-Be-The-Only-One-/231003603117?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item35c8e340ad&vxp=mtr#ht_783wt_1161

    this is what happens when you don't use a transaxle

    I can't believe I found this car for sale on ebay, but when I was a lot younger, I saw the guy that built this thing from scratch and he would take it to the local car shows. Be basically used a Fiero cockpit and then built everything else around it. He used a 350 with a th350/400 trans hooked...

    New transaxles for SLC?

    how much would a 930 box with starter clutch, etc. cost complete? same price? if so, why wouldn't you want two more gears and I'm assuming the new transmission will just shift a lot smoother, make less noise, etc..

    Superlite GTA

    My take on this is if he does anything resembling doing more work to the chassis and assembly, the 20k is long gone out the window. It has to cost more. For Fran, to sell a car as a roller, you'll be spending a lot of time chasing down donors, people will be asking how many miles, etc. Lots...

    Superlite GTA

    The Falcon rear end is one of the best rear ends I've seen in a long time. I think he struck a perfect balance of size/shape for that car.

    Superlite GTA

    I wouldn't hold it to just one car. I would think i would buy 2 DSMs if I had to. I would buy one for the cleanest rust free body and interior for one. Then I would browse the forums for someone that would have done all the engine work but in a crappy chassis to get the best of both worlds if...

    The Price of Transaxles - Why are Transaxles Expensive?

    Wanni - just out of curiosity perspective, how many orders would you need to come up with a reasonable price for people. Is it 200 units? Don't know, read this whole thread and get the scale of what you had to do.

    New/Old Transaxle Fabrication Project

    When I say holy grail, just means more in the 'can't believe it hasn't been done' If you think about it, guys are building cars from scratch, buying metal, aluminum etc... designing suspensions, bodies, etc... You'd think by now we'd have some kind of recipe for a reasonable cost trans...

    Superlite GTA

    Fran - can you comment on how much seat recline is lost with the Apex? I had a first gen eclipse and the legroom was perfect, but if I recall, I had seat all the way back and then some recline to it. maybe you can give us a measurement or a pic of the space behind the seat only without giving...
