Brian;
I'm not that familiar with the FF Cobra replica line but IIRC they are front steer and I think all the geometry is dialed in better from years of
improvements on that kit. Jim kept everything very tight and thus very lightweight on the original 33 design so that limited a lot of options.
Battery size and location on the truck chassis was also something we discussed on my visit and something feedback was already suggesting.
I would love to see a MKII design of the 33 chassis that was opened up a bit in the front allowing front steer and more engine room including
further forward engine placement options. In the past we have also talked about more round tubes with bends vs sq tubes with more welds etc.
The Plymouth wider grille and the trucks more straight up style grille are both steps in the more space is better kit where options and comfort trump weight.
Changing the rack location and the birdcage the coil overs fit in would be the next 2 logical steps in that direction. I'm not a Chevy guy nor a hater of any
marque but after seeing Glens vette donor coupe and the longer 33 chassis they are just meant for each other. I may push Jim and Dave to think about all
they learned from the GTM on the Chevy stuff and offer that scenario on the final truck design. LS motors, torque tubes, transaxles and vette suspension and
brakes are all well sorted out components so why not use them here.
As far as the no trailer hitch comment the 33 is so short of trunk space that it needs one too. I did hide mine behind the license plate but it's on there.
Would you really choose the truck over a sedan delivery if both were offered?
