1G Rear wheel drive 25.1e tube chassis DSM -- $CHEAP

1992 GSX RWD 25.1e tube chassis -- $4000

I started building this car with lots of hopes and aspirations. Over time I have lost interest and have moved to other projects. The tube chassis fits perfectly inside a 1G DSM shell. The chassis itself is made from 4130 Chromoly and fully tig welded. It weighs around 275 lbs. When complete the Eclipse would weigh just a hair over 2000lbs. The 4-link is a S&W racecars pro series and is 24" wide with strage coilovers. The car is setup for a 4G63 and a powerglide. The rear has Weld Alumastar 15x14 with MT ET Drags. The car comes with Buschur Racing 4G63 to GM Tranny adapter and an SFI flexplate. Steering, seat & pedals are complete. You need to finish up the front suspension, tin the car, get a fabbed rear housing, diff and install brakes. This is a massive project, but it is something very unique that hasn't been done before. I am selling everything as a package for $4000. It is a complete steal, considering a welded chassis alone will run you about 5000-6000, not to mention all the parts included. The raw materials and parts are worth about 7000. The labor cost will be probably exceed $4000. Below you can find a full list of the parts included and their price as well as some pictures.
