That's a locost chassis!

According to the AGM website they used a MK Indy chassis as a base.

Are AGM part of MK?

Are you sure that chassis won't need reinforcing for a 5.7 liter V8? I can claim some knowledge of this issue if you are interested.

Good luck with the build. Should be great fun.

Thanks guys I appreciate the incouragement.

The Frame was a special order fabricated from heavier guage tube and I believe mine was the first customer frame with the mods that Alan has been talking about, they include additional braces and welded tunnel panels. Having said that I am interested in input that would provide additional strength to the frame, once I've worked out how I'm going to make evrything fit.

Eyeballing the frame, I'd guess braces in the engine area would be the big win, assuming that there is space. Although AGM did provide an extremly thick floor piece that runs well into the engine area and will likely help the stiffness significantly one I figure out how it's intended to be fitted.

Right now I'm cataloging what I'm missing, and looking at jobs I can do off and on until I get larger blocks of free time later in the year when work eases up.

Taking of things I'm missing, does anyone have pictures of the brake caliper mounting for a Sierra Cosworth. Is there a bracket involved or just a spacer?
