Saw this on sccaforums, looks like a pretty well put together car.

I have no association with the seller. Less than a day left, really makes me wonder what the reserve is...

I'm glad some on else thought that. The frame rails appear to follow a 4th gen path, not a 3G.

it looks like a full framed car like a G-body to me, or possibly a 2nd gen front frame section.

I get bonus points for calling that one! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

at any rate we're comparing apples to oranges at this point. That G-body has a totally different setup in the front than a thirdgen. I think my issue with the black thirdgen being converted like that is that the stock "frame rails" if you even can call them that, aren't made for any kind of twisting load. All the load is put into the cross member and into the wheel tub which is attached all the way around. He has cut the tub out and now the frame rails have to support the car which I'm not sure they are designed to do. I would just like to see a more involved tube structure on the shock mount to attach the frame rails to the firewall and the rest of the cage. Just my $.02. I've never built a CP car.
