Corvette Project.

[sweetvette]

Once again, I will be working on my Corvette. I added quite a bit of show a few months back, and now it needs some go.
Things i have planned for it are:
1. Custom carbon fiber chassis- maybe
2. Use some evo electronics.
3. Lithium ion batteries
4. GPM- maybe
5. Custom motor- Atomic BB can and I will wind my own armature, but if worse comes to worse, I'll have redsxmodder do the winding.

Progress will be slow, so bear with me.

All suggestions and comments are welcome!
and i need help looking for that carbon fiber

add some pics of what your car looks like now and how the cahssis is done and what mods you have so far and your good to go...hmmm im hungry, to bad theres no taco bell in canada...or is there?

[sweetvette]

well, heres the thing.....
when i painted it and did body work, i totally stripped the chassis.....
i really wanted to go from the ground up with this thing, so technically, no mods.
i can pos pics of the body though if thats what you want, and maybe i can dig up a pic of the chassis i was workin on then ditched.

edit





sorry, the wet pics were the best i could find...

[meme405]

the bodies wet in that pic right? you didnt actaully add that to the car...cause if you did it really ugly effect. if not then that black paint is sweet nice job.

[sweetvette]

no its wet, i thought it would be like those car comercials when they drive on the beach and stuff....

hey thats a start, umm idk, i'll pay whatever you payed for them new

i might also consider using an aluminum chassis, if its nice and light yet sturdy,

[123Vette]

i think i paid 25$ for em on ebay they didnt come with a clear chassie tho

[sweetvette]

hmmm, maybe 25 shipped?

[123Vette]

ya i guess

i need paypal tho

[meme405]

are you gonna use those rims? and are those the aluminum ones or the ones in the hotrod rim kit?

[sweetvette]

@123vette: paypal is fine with me, pm me mkay

@meme405: yea, i'll probably use these, unless i can get some aluminum ones for cheap, very cheap. these are the ones from the wheel kit, meaning there plastic.

[meme405]

where are you, i got mine for 2.99 plus tax, find someone in canada then they can probably get em for like 5$ to you...

[sweetvette]

I'm in Southern California, in the Riverside area (if that helps at all), $5 for aluminum rims? I'm all over that!

[meme405]

ok maybe not that far with shipping but their priced at 4.99 right now...find someone in canada and ask em...

If i were u and have times and tool for it i'll go with a custom made carbon fiber chassis instead of the aluminium one. i think it would look nicer. Oh and take a look at dragonplate.com for carbon fiber plate.

[123Vette]

hey i can get u alminum rims as well if u want to it in one sweep, maybe make it 35$ shipped?

[sweetvette]

@c1v1c: thanks man, i was originally planning on making my own, and if i can some carbon fiber of that website for a descent price, i think i'll bust out a dremel and make me one, maybe even start selling them

@123vette: how do the rims look, are they the rs aluminum rims?

[123Vette]

ya ther rs alumininum ones and there in nice condition.

[sweetvette]

okay, sounds like a good deal!

and i think i'll make my own carbon fiber chassis, unless someone wants to sell me an aluminum chassis for 20 shipped
