Re: Aluminum body for a Corvette
Put the roof from the Cheetah on the Lister, but keep the roof line low. Someone photoshop this.

Re: Aluminum body for a Corvette
All your idea's are great ................but remember i'm 6'7" tall and this will be street driven. This car will be scaled up to make this happen. It will be built in the "style" of these cars and will not be a replica/copy of any of them.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=605714 The discussion of a sawn-off Corvette begins in post #115, and continues for a bit. I'm very interested in your project, and look forward to its development. I presume you're familiar with the Scaglietti Corvette coupes, which were a pre-Cobra attempt by Shelby to do a lightweight aluminum Vette? |

Re: Aluminum body for a Corvette
It's interesting how much love there is around here for the Cheetahs. In their day they were wicked fast, but relatively unstable, and very few people were ever able to drive them fast enough (or straight enough) to win races.

Re: Aluminum body for a Corvette
Just be sure to lose the Vette windshield. That is a tell-tale of what lies beneath.
