Good luck in whatever you end up doing with it. Hope you'll document your process, both in writing and in pics.

I have a G-50 5-speed transaxle & built LSX for it already. I'm in the process of repairing all the previous modifications the correct way & then blow it apart for blasting/paint. I'll post pic's for everyone to view for sure.
I'm going for the open top CanAm look, no engine cover,

Freaking Awesome! First real interesting build thread I've seen on this forum. What are the specs for your built LSX? Subscribed for updates.

none of the above....
Im stripping the chassis down now for wheelbase shortening....
all of the roof-hoop & windshield/support structure will be removed. I'm taking 10-inches out of the wheelbase & fabricating new loop & forward structure.
