Mid-Engine C5 Lola T70
Sorry for the delay everyone. Busy with life. I’m building new shop for my project. Here’s some Indy car pedals I’m using for it.

Ok, so apparently OP is putting some kind of mid engine designed kit car on a C5 frame. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rchid=71283091
Hey OP. Might I suggest a single focal point build thread to people know WTF you're taking about?

Mid engine C5 Lola T70
Sorry everyone,
i didn’t know this thread would not continue....
NO, this is no kit car, it’s a scratch built mid engine C5 chassis I’m stretching a Lola T70 Mk3B body over.
420-LS with G50 5-speed with 930 parts....
i take it it I have to go back & start all over for everyone?

OP, you have pics of the chassis? Since you have all those threads, maybe try to update your first post with some pics of progress to date?
I build several mid engine C5 based things...all tube chassis though

Glad to know the project is still in the works. I was not mystified by your post as I subscribed you your build thread. Please keep as posted once you get that shop done and can complete the construction.

I’m about 6’1” so I hear ya. This project I’m clean-sheet designing so I’m starting with my *** about 4-inches off the ground & reclining driver position way back. I may even center-driver in the chassis once I get a better idea about the roll cage position along with pedal placement...
