NEW MEMBER TRYING TO DECIDE I REALLY LIKE THE THUNDER RANCH 356... ANY INFO OUT THERE? mITCHELL.

They do beautiful work...contact Bill George, he is a big fan of theirs.

Mitchell, you can't go wrong with a TR tub.. lotsa choices here for add-ons and such.. Let us know when you pull that trigger!

Speedster "D"

Mitchell,
I am having my speeedster built at Thunder Ranch as we speak. I am flying to San Diego July 29th to take it for a shake down cruise. 10 days up and back along Pacific Coast Highway before Tom ships it to Baltimore. Feel free to call with any questions. Tom McBurnie will be building a Porsche powered RSK for me down the road. I highly recommend Thunder Ranch. Feel free to give a call to talk more about why I went with TR. 410 292 0511.

thanks guys,what I really like is it seems that tr is the only outfit with the tubular frame, but that is also available as a real "kit", I want to do as much of the work as I can, very friendly people at TR.. thanks,, Mitchell

Mitchell, Tom & Jeannie McBurnie are two of my favorite people in the world. We bought one car (as a home-built kit) from them and will purchase our next kit from them as well. In fact, we would actually like to build two more TR cars... Got to save some $$ first.

Depending on how much of the work you want to do, Beck also has a frame that you can buy as a kit/roller.

Yeah, contrary to the comment above that "Thunder Ranch is the only one with a tubular frame" (does that mean ROUND frame members??), Beck is based on a tube frame (both their turn-key car AND their kit), IM is based on a tube frame, SAS is based on a tube frame, etc. If you want to get technical, probably a CMC could be called a "Tube frame" too, but I'm afraid that the purists might not agree. tom McBurnie builds a nice tube Speedster/Spyder frame. So do others.

Unless you have the SEMA reproduction car registration legislation in your state, having a pan-based car might just be to your advantage....
