Default 1965 project srii chassis

Here is my 65 coupe project. It started 5 years ago as a quick paintjob and just kept changing. Now its got a sriii chassis with c6 suspension, wildwood brakes, Currie 9" IRS, Gen V Lt4 dry sump engine, T56 magnum, and fenders and quarters widened 1.5". Its all bodyworked and finally getting paint in a few weeks. Forgeline wheels coming soon.

Looks good! Should be a sweet ride when you are done. That's quite the project creep!

Default Very nice

Beautiful work!! That 650 HP will be a monster. Your going to surprise some C7 Z06 owners. Your C2 when complete should be lighter then the C7??

I haven't seen the extra bars in front of the rear tires, along side the rear kick of frame. Is that for a roll bar or seat belts?

I don't add up the numbers. Don't really want to know the truth.

GOOD answer!
You are going to have a nice ride

I have seen that name before, is this why you did not use that Dana 44!

I am still working on my 62 but everything is ready for the body drop
