Chassis Engineering / Rego
67hardtop:
Restomod in the extreme?
Just sniffing around to see if any one has any experience with full chassis?
Would something like this pass rego (with an engineering Report obviously)
I am waiting for a response from my engineer at the minute but figured someone out ther might know.
When you cost out RRS or TCP gear front and rear, these dont look over priced.
you can buy ar a roller or in component form.

Any thoughts??

I imagine being a new chassis it would need to comply to current ADRs. Best to clarify with an engineer.
Not a big fan of how it is mounted to the body.

Perhaps it may have to go down the limited production route like a cobra etc. In which case it will need a beam torsion test. There's a bit in it, not sure if it would be deamed a new car if you bolt a mustang to it, or not. Have a mate doing this now for D type Jag replicas.

If you could get it regoed it would be an interesting project. I would like to build one & go nuts on it. Channel it, mount the body properly, air ride etc. Would be a wild led sled. You would need a big cheque book though.
67hardtop:
Thanks guys.
My engineer just got back to me and shot the idea down in flames;]
Apparently it a case of going down the limited production Rd (on the money Shaunp)
In his words, "you dont want to go there"!
Ah well, its probably just as well.
Like you said Steve, it would be a money pit of huge proportions
Back to the drawing board:2
