Default C5 Chassis Cutaway - a more detailed version anyone???

Does anyone have a C5 chassis cutaway that is much more detailed than the popular red Convertible one?

I saw Patches pictures but I can't see the mechanicals under the car in those pix.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

EG

P.S. I'm looking for something like this but for the C5 (this is a C6 chassis)


This is one of Patches' excellent C5 pictures - but I can't see the chassis in these pix.

Maybe someone else will chime in, but the only ones I've see are on this forum at:

Thanks guys, but I'm looking for the mechanicals like in the C6 cutaway.

Nothing in my 3 Helm manuals shows the entire drivetrain without the structural pieces, which is what I am looking for

I'd just like somebody to show me where the gas tanks are.

I mean, I know there are two of them with a crossover between them, and I know they're behind the seats but I'd like to see these complex shapes they're supposed to be.

I suggest that you would see very few, if any, cars other than a Vette Bare A$$ naked but detailed!

Patches, now I see why everyone compliments your photo prowess, and your cleaning skills. I've seen people remove the wheels before to clean it up - but the whole body and frame?

This is how he gets his chassis to look like it has been polished - because it HAS been polished!!!!

I have seen pics but don't have any that show them out of the car. Here's the drawing in the manual. The highlighted pieces are the left and right tank and the cross tube.



Here's a few pics of the tanks and cross tube I took of a buddy's car recently while doing a diff swap.

Left tank


Right tank


Crossover tube

Thanks Patches. So the crossover is at the TOP? That's interesting. I'd have thought it would be at the bottom. Must be two pickups somewhere.

They're great pictures blacksedan87. Thanks! It's nice to know what they look like. For some reason not knowing was driving me crazy!
