I'm surprised more people aren't running composite body work. The weight saving can be massive! In fact I have even seen carbon engine plates in some high end supercars. With the correct layup and resin can on can be as strong steel per thickness yet a fraction of the weight.
If you need added strength, ie in the doors, you can add Kevlar for an even stronger composite with only a slight increase in weight.

It's tough. With staying 76's I can weigh less than those monster 88's. I can't be over weight and still be competitive. The car will be safer, faster and lighter. Well thats the plan anyway, lol.
Haha t tops holding up. Sounds awesome about the carbon roof Eric. Also call you guys last week. Forgot his name that picked up but was suppose to ask you some questions so he could get back with me.

Aslo getting the full Midwest Chassis rear end and torque arm package. Can't wait to get the car to the track. I also think Forced Inductions shipped my new turbos today.
Car is looking intense so far man. Keep it up!
Def post some pics of the bling billet turbos when you get them in too!
Lol what's the trick to getting them to answer the phone? Waive a crap ton of cash in their face? I've tried to call them about a few questions on the turbos I bought from them and not one peep out of them. Guess they got what they wanted.

Chassis should be back in 2 weeks. We are going to move the I/C to the nose of the car, hoping for less heat soak and much shorter cold piping runs. We have to remove the radiaor to have room to face the turbos forward and the I/C. The Chassis work from Midwest Chassis is awesome!!!!
