Some nice items in there. I’ve contemplated a lexan hatch. I don’t know of a way to do lexan side windows without saying goodbye to ever having them go up or down again.

I was wondering about the C3 too. Will this car be slower than the C3? If so, what prompted the change? Goals?
I have to admit I'm curious about the body construction. Is it a C4 chassis? The transmission tunnel looks different. Plus...No side rails like a C4. That's why I wonder what frame is under it?
Since the hood/fenders are one-piece, where they grafted? Are the panels FROM a C4...CF...fiberglass?
For us drag-racing neophytes, how do you make a 516ci block? (In fact, I've never asked how any block over a 396 is acheived? If over 396, does that mean they're never a SBC? If so, then BBC?)

It is a Ford nine inch with 4.29 gears. A dana 44 would self destruct on the first pass!
