Minor Progress on Riptide

[formula98]

I'd love to do a IRS rear, but I have nowhere near the $$ or fab skills to do it. There's a guy over by cleveland that randomly gets full C5 suspension/motor/drivetrain and he puts em up on ebay. A C5 Z06 motor, wheels, drivetrain, suspension just sold for a little over 10k recently. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-Co...35160260QQrdZ1
I'd love to have been able to go this route, probably is well worth it dollar wise.

The C5 is a lot of work! The C4 is not as difficult. I was working with Wayne to build a bolt in Kit and got the OK to fab his brackets. Unfortunately Wayne closed the doors. I’m building his IRS kits now, but will be making a newer version that can be bolted in or welded. Wayne sent a few customers my way so I had to duplicate his kit. I have a full time job that does not allow me to develop near as quickly as I would like. I was always planning to run my exhaust out the side in front of the rear tires so my plan would work fine for me, but I found I’ll have to change it if people want to run their exhaust out the rear.

When I get a kit going I’ll post pictures.
