Pat Minarick Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Glad to here that this is back on, very much looking to your progress Thanks Bill, I'm trying to fit the interior of the Smart and the chassis of the Vette all into one piece.
Manic Mechanic Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Like the old urban myth of the jato rocket in the ford escort...

bill_67 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Pat, did you have to shorten the upper and lower control arms to fit width of the car?

Pat Minarick Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Pat, did you have to shorten the upper and lower control arms to fit width of the car? Yes I did . May have to cut a little more, I forgot about the brake rotors.
blubaja Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 WOW! I really did not expect all that ti fit under there! Maybe the scale difference saved you. This is awsome!
LokisTyro Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Cool concept and good work. The 'Busa swapped Smarts are fun to watch on ViewTube.
Pat Minarick Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Good things come in small packages. Thanks Ray, I just hope I can get all the rest of it inside the package.

Pat Minarick Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Cool concept and good work. The 'Busa swapped Smarts are fun to watch on ViewTube. Andrew, Thank you. Yes they are ,that is what I originally wanted to do with this,but it's been done so I had to do something different.
KeithJackson Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I am going to guess that this doesn't even need a drive shaft. Reminds me of Rick Dobbertin's Pontiac J2000 from the mid '80s. The rear end was narrowed so much that it was said that the axles could fit in a shoe box. I was surprised to find that they did make a 1/25th model of it. Edited March 13, 2015 by KeithJackson

Well no drive shaft ,it has a torque tube and transaxle. It would be cool to tub this but even I think that would be impossible.
TFchronos Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Nice job squeezing all that Chevy into such a small package. Definitely an awesome build shaping up here. Keep it up! Edited March 15, 2015 by TFchronos
Pat Minarick Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Sorry Bob ,I have been working on other builds, some from over four years ago. I will be working on it soon.It will be done for the Cannonball in December I promise.
