The trick is to start with two perfectly good production chassis and turn them into one, totally not functioning chassis. At least that's my $2018 strategy.

In reply to Woody :
I mean it also would've been a fun toy to use at local autocrosses as well
In reply to maschinenbau :
It's a good strategy. ;)

That’s exactly why I asked that a run-what-you-bring class be allowed. Low cost innovative does not require a production chassis.
Talk to the publisher. Make your case. He has the power to modify the rules as he sees fit

Rd - I'm currently building a long term challenge project that is a Fiat x1/9 with gsxr1000 power
R1 powered spitfire
Im less than $300 in so far and have most of the suspension and brakes other than masters (miata swap, its body on frame) other than springs/shocks as well as the rolling shell.
Let's race!!! link me your build thread please! Mine:

I'm aware, but I'm not sure that was the best call in that case. While part of the original unibody, the body panels weren't close to resembling anything structural.
This is one of the reasons I lost interest in doing a challenge build. When the rule is anything you can talk 'management' into is legal, you've got a game I don't care about playing.
May I respectfully ask you why? My argument is the main restriction of the class is the budget. It prevents unlimited money/ budgets being able to take the win.
If I get scrap metal tubing and make a chassis that is deemed safe why not allow me to race?
Regarding safe, that is certainly not a high hurdle given the total lack of fatalities in the group of brutally butchered bunch of cars running in the past.

Build thread not started yet, working on finishing my Bugeye resto first. Some parts fell in my lap

That could be taken figuratively or literally.
In reply to Tom Suddard :
Thank you for that clarification! That sounds like my MGuar will comply. ( I’ll send photos as it goes together to ensure)
It’s a given it won’t be quick but I’m not building it to race, simply to have fun. your event promises to be about as much fun as an old guy can handle. Not to mention low pressure!
