Beretta\Corvette

Post by Jason_GTZ »

People can put me down all they want to. It don't really hurt my feelings any, I like it when people say I can't or shouldn't do something. It gives me more reasons to show them that I can, and will do it.   Get upset? thats not my style, I enjoy the things that make the think the most.  I am looking for a  dash  out of a   2002 Z06 if anyone has a good connection on corvette parts let me know.

I am also going to need to get most of the interior wiring  from behind the dash so that I can make all the gauges work.

Hey thanks for the offer Norm, I would be all over that if I had a place to put it right now.  I don't though so it would be setting in my driveway and I don't think the neighbors would be real happy about that.

That would just be so sick if you could easily throw that together for a quick run around and then move onto the project... LMAO!!!


Are those pre-made suspension holders for Corvette Chassis when you remove the body? or is it something you came up with to hold it together?

They cam from the junk yard that I bought the chassis from.  

They wouldn't handle any kind of driving around though they are week and flex alot when you move the chassis around, They had just rolled that out of the shop when I snapped those pictures.

This project is going to cost big money, corvette parts are expensive lol.  Coilover kit is going to be like $2,395  before shipping.  but that is also top of the line, from LG Motorsports  and 1,300 for swaybars and endlinks. I want to spend the money on suspension right now because I know with 405hp in a Beretta Its going to need to handle well and I shouldn't need any more performance for a little while. lol

My vote is for incredibly sick gocart then just bolt the beretta shell over it with no floor.  Just build those suspension holders out of stronger steel, weld up a third up member for the top of the shock and link those like a strut tower brace. Find a spot to put the computer and weld a gold star cart frame with the wheels off to the side of the torquetube and cruise.

better yet mount a motor cycle seat right to the top of that baby and stradle it.
