Just a thought.

The only reason why i haven't gone with a tube chassis is cause intimidated at the possibility of everything not lining up correctly. Sounds stupid, but as you can see by the pics i think the rear will line up with the frame horns perfectly. But you're right, a tube chassis is the logical choice. I just can't dump everything i've done to the chassis. Top secret: i AM dumping the rear 6 pots (to 4 pot 322 mm) and i'm trying to figure out a way to keep the fronts after spending a fortune on the custom job since i'm looking for a different front end and porsche spindles are radial mount.
It looks like a 964 front end may be the winner due to power steering (255's up front), macpherson struts, and the high speed stability.
