How do you get 1000 HP out of a 2.0 liter engine?? Then again, it is at 8500 RPM.

Thanks for the link, that is an awsome HHR!!
Looks like they drive from the back seat
Does anyone see a radiator anywhere? What is large round tank in the rear for?

 

Broke out the plasma cutter and got serious today. I'm really glad this isn't a real car. I think I would be a little nervous doing this to a driver. Anyway, I cut out the spare tire well and forward to the cross member. The Camaro rear end is sitting in place on the upper spring mounts for now. The trailing arms are mocked up out of 1" emt. The 2x4s will be replaced by 2x3" wood and I will continue to "build" the rear chassis supports out of them. Once I'm satisfied with the layout in wood, I'll build it out of 2x3 rectangular tubing.

 

Absolutely beautiful !

 

Not a fan.......I like the pickup that the other member is working on but I don't share in your enthusiasm for the convertible.

 

Are you going to use a 3 or 4 link system?

 

I'm going to duplicate the Camaro setup. Single lower trailing arms with a panhard bar along with the arm that goes from the third member to the rear of the transmission.

 

How about the width of the rear, how does that play out?
lets throw in the fuel tank too...where is it going?

 

The rear axle will be narrowed quite a bit...at least 12". Lots more work will be required before I know the amount. Depends on how much rubber I can get inside the wheel wells. I haven't determined how wide my rear tires will be. I'd like to go with a 10" wide rear tire but it depends on how much work tubbing the wheel wells will be. As far as a gas tank goes, I'm going with a rectangular fuel cell mounted where the spare tire went.
