​

CHASSIS:

The original style chassis is constructed from  4” dia x 1/8” CDS tube for the main front to rear and lateral connecting members of its central ladder, which gives the basic structure a high degree of torsional rigidity. This is due to the main rails being straight and continuous between front and rear suspension turrets, and the accumulative depth and number of connections between them and the lateral members. Steel cockpit floor and inner faces of footwells. Highly authentic front turret structure. Heavily braced scuttle and footwell structure eliminates scuttle shake. Rear turret heavily gusseted to main rails effectively harnesses acceleration and brake torque reactions from rear axle. Integral pedal box structure. Integral fuel tank protection transom. Chassis is blasted, etch primed and powder coated as standard.

​

BODY:
