    Some of those old plastic cars looked great. Others not so much, and some looked ok. That one looks ok, but I think he is doing the car a disservice by not using the ch***is that was with the car. But it’s his car, his money and his to do with what he wants.

    Interesting car, I’m glad that they rescued it. That ch***is looks like it would add to the build, I wonder why they aren’t using it.

    A very pretty design, glad to know it's under restoration. I agree with others though, why is it not using its original ch***is? Usually, that is a harbinger of other changes ahead, which would be a shame.

    Geoff (@G. Hacker) -

    Could you please elaborate on why (other than the "galvanized fence post rollbar") that they decided to use a mid-'80s G-Body ch***is . . . vice "restore" the original ch***is . . . ???

    I think I know the obvious answer . . . but didn't want to speculate.​

    Same reason all the TV clowns say, "Everything you brought us is junk. Call Art Morrison and have them send a ch***is. Call Gearstar and have them send a transmisson. Call (whoever is paying the most this month) and have them send us a custom LS crate motor."
