Well... I did it... I got a recreated Lola T-70 MK3-B tub, body, windshield and other parts coming in... at a big cost too!!! but worth it!!! This will be a full race car with around 650-HP, SBC w/Webers, LG-500 or LG-600, Lola 10x15 & 17x15 wheels, right hand drive track monster!!!! Lol... All ready have the Webers & manifold, most of the parts to build a F-5000-SBC, bodywork now a tub and other parts make it an "official project", photos on the way... TBC...

*** NOTE*** having trouble loading tub photos, I'll take new shots and try later!

Welcome back Steve. I had been in contact with Gary a few years ago, and we exchanged some info. I don't remember where, but you have posted pictures of this project before. I know if I looked long enough, I could find them. Very interesting project. Did you widen the body also, or just do the stretching ? Reminds me of the old Bartz car that was built in the mid 80's. That car was cool also, as it was a widened Mk3 on a T165 chassis, with a 461 big block Chevy in it. It was in New Zeeland and recently sold.

Good Morning,
9” stretch only. I’m flaring the front fenders a small amount to cover the wider corvette track. I have a 418-inch LS engine & G50 gearbox finished & ready once I have bodywork mounted where I like it.looking at adjustable aero & tunnel work under the car too.
My wife & I just moved closer to my work so I’m trying to get settled in a new garage before I dive back in. The project just turned 3-years old recently so I’m trying to stay motivated with everything in life going on....

C5 corvette chassis that was used for another prototype project. I bought it out of the west-coast & stripped it down for this. Not sure if would all work but what the hell, I hate seeing cast-off stuff going to waste...We’ll see how it comes together.

I’ve finally got the rear section of the bodywork correctly leveled. I just picked up some 20” tall wheel supports for lifting project for fabrication.
I’ll have some floor/tub pictures soon, my rollcage guy wants the tub-work in place so he knows what clearances are going to be required. I’m setting the bottom of the car at 3.5”
