    Mid-engine LSX coupe: Design Phase

    Here is my rough first draft for my mid-engine LSX coupe. Its gonna get the donor 4.8L out of my truck when i do the swap. much later on down the road it will drop 100lbs and gain an ls6.

    i'm building the chassis myself, the body, i dont know about. i make try to build my own from resin bonded fiber like fiber glass or carbon fiber. or i might just invest a small fortune and make the entire body out of aluminum. the i can polish it up and clear it

    No doubt this is the one to build. They are awesome. I saw that Trevor Faust guy test one. Yes Sir

    Yeah, the price tag on a GTM, lotus or a GTR is way out of my range! I work full time and most of my money goes into being a student full time as well. So i'll backyard this one and buy a piece at a time. Luckily though, i can pick parts up cheap.
