Red Speedsters do look sharp! I know you're selling, but if you mount the oil filter bracket in the wheelwell you won't spill oil all over the place when you change the filter...Al

 

PS- When you say "freeway flier" transaxle, does that mean it also has a .82 4th gear, or just the 3.88 r&p?

Starting about 10-13 years ago, Thunder Ranch started using a "sorta" tube frame. Tom McBurnie and the guy who built the frames tore me a new one on the old site for pointing out the difference between what they were building and a true tube frame.

 

What they had going was a lot like Metalcrafters, only not as cool. It was a pan-replacement frame. It used a beam, and the frame-horn section of an original pan to preserve the VIN of the donor, but the floors and the longs were fabbed on a jig. From there, the body (with the secondary frame) bolted right to it, as per normal for a pan-based car.

 

JPS offered the same thing, at least for a while. There's not a thing wrong with it, but there's not a lot more to it than a conventional pan. It doesn't move the drive-train position, adapt for alternate suspension pieces, or anything else that IM does. It's not a true, one-piece glassed in frame, as per both IM and Beck.

 

Regardless, this is a REALLY nice car, though.
